What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediately implement strict validation of the HTTP Host header on the server side to ensure it matches expected, whitelisted domains. 2. Avoid using the Host header directly in password reset link generation or token handling; instead, use fixed, server-side configured URLs. 3. Employ additional verification steps in the password reset workflow, such as multi-factor authentication or secondary confirmation channels. 4. Monitor logs for unusual password reset requests or patterns indicative of host header manipulation. 5. Educate users about phishing risks and the dangers of interacting with unsolicited password reset links. 6. If possible, isolate or restrict access to the Lines Police CAD system to trusted networks to reduce exposure. 7. Coordinate with the software vendor for timely patching and updates once available. 8. Consider implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block host header injection attempts. 9. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on input validation and authentication flows.

Description

A host header injection vulnerability in Lines Police CAD 1.0 allows attackers to obtain the password reset token via user interaction with a crafted password reset link. This allows attackers to arbitrarily reset other users' passwords and compromise their accounts.
