Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the password recovery endpoints or implementing additional verification controls if possible.

Description

CVE-2026-115973 is a medium severity vulnerability in FaveoSuite Faveo Helpdesk version 2.0.3 affecting the password recovery functionality. The issue lies in the ForgotPasswordController::sendResetLinkEmail and PasswordController::reset functions, which allow weak password recovery mechanisms. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication and may lead to compromised account recovery processes.

Impact

An attacker can remotely exploit the weak password recovery mechanism to potentially reset user passwords without proper security controls. This could lead to unauthorized account access or takeover. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk of exploitation. However, no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Summary

This vulnerability affects FaveoSuite Faveo Helpdesk 2.0.3 in the password recovery functions ForgotPasswordController::sendResetLinkEmail and PasswordController::reset within the file app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ForgotPasswordController.php. The flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the password recovery process, resulting in weak password recovery protections. The attack vector is remote and requires no privileges or user interaction. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating medium severity with network attack vector and low complexity.
