| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the /api/json/user/password/update/ endpoint and requires that the attacker (1) know or enumerate a valid username (the description explicitly notes exploitation follows username enumeration) and (2) target an account with NO pending password reset, so that the account's defaulted empty reset_key matches the empty value produced by omitting the reset parameter. The limiting factors are therefore: the account must not currently have an active/pending reset in progress, and the attacker must identify a valid (ideally administrator) username; there is otherwise no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), and the affected versions are Integrics Enswitch 3.13 through 4.4. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not an inflated high-CVSS artifact. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with no user interaction, and the description corroborates it: an unauthenticated attacker changes arbitrary account passwords by omitting the reset parameter so an empty reset_key matches the defaulted empty value. The CVSS vector and the description are consistent (both point to remote, pre-authentication exploitation), which strengthens confidence. Public exploit code exists (per the enablesecurity.com advisory tagged as exploit and VulnCheck's advisory), raising practical risk, though this is distinct from confirmed active exploitation. No EPSS score was supplied, so exploitation-probability modeling cannot be cited, and the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis - so there is no evidence of in-the-wild use yet, only readily available tooling. The main realistic brake on mass exploitation is that attackers must first enumerate valid usernames and target accounts with no pending reset; against a known-admin username this is trivial. Impact is confidentiality and integrity to administrator accounts (VC:H/VI:H) with no direct availability impact (VA:N). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker enumerates valid usernames on an internet-reachable Enswitch deployment, then sends a crafted request to /api/json/user/password/update/ that omits the reset parameter, causing the supplied empty reset_key to match the account's defaulted empty reset_key. Public exploit code for this password-reset bypass is available (EnableSecurity/VulnCheck advisories), so the attacker resets an administrator's password and logs in with full control. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication, user interaction, or special timing is required beyond knowing a target username. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Unauthenticated password reset bypass in Integrics Enswitch 3.13 through 4.4 allows remote attackers to change passwords for accounts that have no pending reset by omitting the reset parameter, causing the empty reset_key to match the defaulted empty value; this enables administrator account takeover after enumerating valid usernames. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, making it a genuine high-priority issue.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: refer to the Integrics Enswitch advisory at https://www.integrics.com/enswitch/ and the Enablesecurity advisory at https://www.enablesecurity.com/advisories/ES2026-06-enswitch-password-reset-bypass/ for the exact fixed version. Until patching, restrict access to the /api/json/user/password/update/ endpoint to trusted networks via firewall or reverse proxy rules, understanding that this may disrupt legitimate self-service password resets. Enforce multi-factor authentication on all accounts, especially administrators, to reduce the impact of unauthorized password changes. Enable audit logging for the endpoint and monitor for username enumeration attempts. The public exploit code increases the urgency of applying the vendor fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Integrics Enswitch is a unified communications platform; the vulnerability lies in the JSON API endpoint /api/json/user/password/update/. Root cause is CWE-640 (Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password): the application stores an empty reset_key by default when no reset is pending, and the endpoint does not validate that a reset request exists before allowing a password change. Omitting the reset parameter supplies an empty value that trivially matches the empty default reset_key, bypassing the reset workflow. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:integrics:enswitch:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the affected product is Integrics Enswitch across versions 3.13 through 4.4. The CVSS vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) reflects network exploitability, low complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality and integrity impact, with no availability impact. Exploitation requires knowledge of a valid username (e.g., via enumeration) and that the targeted account has no pending reset, but otherwise no special conditions.

DescriptionCVE.org
Integrics Enswitch 3.13 through 4.4 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in /api/json/user/password/update/ that allows unauthenticated attackers to change account passwords by omitting the reset parameter. Attackers can target accounts with no pending reset, whose empty reset_key matches the defaulted empty value, to take over administrator accounts after enumerating valid usernames.
Technical POC Analysis
The bug is a weak password recovery mechanism flaw, primary CWE-640, with the advisory also referencing CWE-287 Improper Authentication.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
Integrics Enswitch versions 3.13 through 4.4 contain a critical password reset bypass (CVE-2026-107640) that allows remote attackers to take over administrator accounts. Publicly available exploit code exists, and no vendor-released patch is currently available, posing a severe risk to organizations relying on this platform for critical communications.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restricting remote access to the Enswitch web interface to trusted networks, enabling multi-factor authentication for all administrative accounts, deploying WAF rules to reject password reset requests that omit the reset parameter, disabling the password reset feature if not essential, and monitoring authentication logs for suspicious activity such as username enumeration or unexpected password changes.
