DescriptionCVE.org

Gophish through 0.12.1 fails to enforce account lockout and password change requirements in the API authentication middleware. Attackers with valid API keys can bypass these security controls and retain full API access even when their account is locked or password change is required.

AnalysisAI

API authentication middleware in Gophish through 0.12.1 fails to enforce account lockout and mandatory password-change states, allowing any holder of a valid API key to retain full platform access regardless of administrative security actions taken on that account. Affected versions include all releases up to and including 0.12.1 per CPE cpe:2.3:a:gophish:gophish:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires possession of a valid Gophish API key associated with an account that has been locked or flagged for a mandatory password change - these are the precise conditions that the middleware fails to check. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N) accurately reflects the network reachability and high impact, but PR:L is the key limiting signal: exploitation unconditionally requires possession of a valid API key, meaning this is not a zero-effort, unauthenticated attack against default deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No specific patched release version has been identified from the available reference data; users should monitor the Gophish GitHub repository at https://github.com/gophish/gophish and the issue tracker at https://github.com/gophish/gophish/issues/9440 for an upstream fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all active API keys in Gophish 0.12.1 and earlier, identifying which users hold keys and documenting last rotation dates; concurrently implement network-layer access restrictions (IP whitelisting or VPN-only) on API endpoints if technically feasible. …
