AI-suggested
Since the product reached end of service in March 2026, users should consider upgrading to a supported product version or alternative solution. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the affected application and monitor for unauthorized password resets. Verify and enforce session validation in the update_password action if possible through configuration or custom controls.
Description
XWEB EVO versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 have an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any account flagged to reset at next login. This occurs due to missing session validation in the users.lua update_password action. Exploiting this flaw, attackers can gain immediate authenticated access by resetting passwords of newly onboarded operator accounts. The product line is end-of-service as of March 2026.
