AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Network API reachable with low complexity but needs a low-privileged account (PR:L) and a victim click (UI:R); token capture enables account takeover, so C:H/I:H, no availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline

dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, a low-privileged authenticated API user can supply forwardToUrl and redirectUrl values when triggering password reset or confirmation flows. Those values are then embedded into the outgoing email workflow without host allowlisting. This creates two related abuse paths:
- password reset or confirmation links can be sent to a victim with the token already attached to an attacker-controlled
forwardToUrl - after a legitimate password reset completes, the browser is redirected to attacker-controlled
redirectUrl
In practice, this can be used for phishing, token capture, confirmation hijacking, or steering a victim from a trusted email into an attacker domain. This is patched in version 26.06.08.
AnalysisAI
Open redirect and token-theft in dataCycle-CORE (all versions up to and including 25.07.3) lets a low-privileged authenticated API user inject attacker-controlled forwardToUrl and redirectUrl parameters into password-reset and confirmation email flows, which lack host allowlisting. Because a live reset/confirmation token can be appended to an attacker-controlled destination, and users are redirected off-site after completing a reset, an attacker can capture tokens, hijack confirmations, and stage convincing phishing from a trusted-domain email. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a valid low-privileged authenticated dataCycle API account able to trigger the password-reset or confirmation flows, and the ability to supply the `forwardToUrl` and/or `redirectUrl` parameters (the exact feature named in the advisory) which are embedded into the email workflow without host allowlisting. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 3.1 score is 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N): network-reachable, low complexity, but requires low-privilege authentication AND victim interaction (clicking the link). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds (or self-registers) a low-privileged dataCycle API account invokes the password-reset flow for a target user while setting `forwardToUrl` to an attacker-controlled domain, so the victim receives a legitimate-looking email whose reset link carries a live token pointing at the attacker's site. When the victim clicks, the token is delivered to the attacker (enabling account takeover), or after a real reset the browser is bounced to the attacker's phishing page. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade dataCycle-CORE to version 26.06.08, which adds host validation to the reset/confirmation email workflow; this is the primary and recommended fix (see advisory GHSA-8jfx-wpjg-hf38 at https://github.com/datacycle-engine/dataCycle-CORE/security/advisories/GHSA-8jfx-wpjg-hf38). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
