|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the send_message_mobile function in controllers/simple.php and requires the attacker to control the user_id argument to abuse the weak password-recovery (CWE-640) logic; it is reachable remotely over the network against iWebShop-5 versions up to and including 5.16. The supplied vector lists PR:L, implying some prior privilege/session may be needed, though this is inconsistent with typical pre-authentication password-recovery abuse and is not independently confirmed. Limiting factors: no public fix or patch is available (upstream unresponsive), impact is low per the CVSS vector, and the product's small deployment base constrains the realistic attack surface; no user interaction is required (UI:N). |
| Impact | This is a moderate, low-priority issue rather than an urgent one. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with low impact across all three dimensions (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), and the input assigns a base score of 5.3 (Medium). The E:P temporal metric confirms only a proof-of-concept, not weaponized exploitation. Exploitation status: publicly available exploit code exists (a GitHub issue report), but there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no evidence of real-world or widespread exploitation - the signal is consistent with a disclosed-but-not-actively-exploited bug. Note a conflict worth flagging: the CVSS vector specifies PR:L (authenticated), yet a password-recovery weakness (CWE-640) is typically abused by an UNauthenticated attacker who does not yet possess credentials - verify the privilege requirement with the vendor, as it materially affects real risk. The combination of low impact, a niche open-source product, PoC-only maturity, and an unresponsive upstream project points to a real but low-severity issue, not a high-priority emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker invokes the send_message_mobile function in controllers/simple.php and manipulates the user_id argument to abuse the weak password-recovery mechanism, potentially triggering or redirecting recovery messages for another account. Public proof-of-concept detail exists in the upstream GitHub issue, lowering the bar to reproduce. Because CVSS rates attack complexity low (AC:L) and the vector as network (AV:N), the request can be sent directly against an exposed iWebShop instance. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Manipulating the user_id argument in iWebShop-5 up to 5.16's send_message_mobile function (controllers/simple.php) can abuse weak password-recovery logic and potentially allow unauthorized password recovery for another account. The flaw is remotely reachable with low impact, publicly available exploit code exists, and independent assessment rates it a moderate, low-priority issue rather than an urgent one.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the upstream project has not responded to the issue report. Immediate compensating controls are to disable or restrict the mobile password-recovery action in controllers/simple.php (trade-off: legitimate users lose self-service reset), enforce server-side authorization so a client-supplied user_id cannot select another account and require an out-of-band token or verified session (trade-off: custom code and user-experience changes), and rate-limit plus alert on send_message_mobile requests to detect enumeration or reset abuse. Track https://vuldb.com/vuln/421683 and https://github.com/aircheng-org/iWebShop-5/issues/11 for a fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
iWebShop-5 is a PHP-based e-commerce application, and the affected code path is the send_message_mobile function in controllers/simple.php. The root cause is CWE-640 (Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password): the recovery flow accepts a client-controlled user_id argument without sufficient binding to the requester's identity or a verified recovery token, allowing manipulation of the target account identifier. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:aircheng-org:iwebshop-5:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* represents the affected iWebShop-5 product line, with the description scoping impact through version 5.16. The published CVSS score is 5.3; authentication requirements are not confirmed from available data, because the supplied CVSS:4.0 vector carries PR:L while the independent assessment uses PR:N.
