Exploitation Conditions

Active user interaction is required - specifically, a user must follow or interact with a link or response generated by the application that embeds the attacker-supplied Host header value (UI:A per CVSS 4.0). No authentication is required on the attacker's part (PR:N), and no special server-side configuration is needed (AT:N, AC:L). Exploitation is limited by the need for the application to generate and deliver a Host-header-reflective link to a user (e.g., via password-reset email flow or redirect), and by the user actively engaging with that content. Exploitation does not result in direct code execution or complete credential theft absent further social engineering. The vulnerability is network-reachable and requires no elevated access, but the mandatory user interaction step prevents fully automated or unauthenticated mass exploitation.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) is consistent with the actual attack surface: no authentication or special configuration is required (PR:N, AC:L, AT:N), but active user interaction is mandatory (UI:A), which materially reduces the exploitability in automated attack scenarios. The impact is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity degradation on both the vulnerable system and dependent services (VC:L/VI:L/SC:L/SI:L), with no availability impact. The password manager context elevates real-world concern beyond the raw score - a successful Host Header Injection in a credential management application can redirect password-reset emails or links to attacker infrastructure, creating a high-impact phishing vector despite a moderate CVSS score. No EPSS data is available in the input, no KEV listing exists, and no public exploit code has been identified, all suggesting exploitation has not yet been observed at scale. The absence of specific affected version ranges (CPE uses a wildcard) means defenders cannot easily scope exposure without consulting the vendor advisory directly.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker sends an HTTP request to the Password Manager application with a forged Host header value pointing to an attacker-controlled domain (e.g., Host: attacker.example.com). The application reflects this value when generating a password-reset or account-verification link, which is then delivered to the victim user via email. When the user clicks the link, their credentials or reset token are transmitted to the attacker's server rather than the legitimate application.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026

Host Header Injection in Password Manager (all versions per CPE) enables remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the HTTP Host header, causing the application to generate crafted links or responses that reference an attacker-controlled domain. Exploitation requires active user interaction (UI:A per CVSS 4.0 vector), limiting mass exploitation but enabling targeted phishing, password-reset link hijacking, or cache poisoning affecting dependent services. No public exploit code has been identified, and INCIBE has confirmed a vendor patch is available. This vulnerability is part of a broader set of issues disclosed simultaneously in the same INCIBE advisory.

RemediationAI

A vendor-released patch is confirmed available per the INCIBE advisory (https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-password-manager); however, the exact patched version number is not specified in the available data - consult the advisory directly to identify the target upgrade version. As an immediate compensating control pending upgrade, deployers should configure a reverse proxy or WAF rule to enforce a strict allowlist of permitted Host header values, rejecting or rewriting requests where the Host header does not match the application's canonical hostname - this eliminates the injection vector without application changes. Additionally, disabling any application features that embed the Host header value into outbound links (e.g., password-reset email generation) until patching is complete removes the highest-impact exploitation path. Note that Host header allowlisting at the proxy layer may break multi-tenant or virtual-host deployments and should be tested before production rollout.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-644 (Improper Neutralization of HTTP Headers for Scripting Syntax) describes the root cause: the application accepts and reflects the HTTP Host header value without adequate validation or sanitization. Web applications that use the Host header to dynamically construct internal URLs - such as password-reset links, redirect targets, or API endpoints - are particularly susceptible because the generated content inherits the attacker-supplied hostname. In a password manager context, this is especially sensitive given that generated links may point to credential reset flows. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:password_manager:password_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version field, indicating the flaw spans all known versions of this product. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A) confirms the attack surface is network-reachable with no special prerequisites beyond a user interacting with attacker-influenced content.

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper handling of HTTP headers that allows a remote attacker to manipulate the value of the Host header using specially crafted requests. A successful exploit could result in the generation of manipulated links or responses, potentially leading to limited information disclosure or compromising the integrity of dependent services.
