What is CVE-2020-28874?

The password reset function in ProjectSend prior to r1295 is susceptible to exploitation by remote attackers due to incorrect handling of business logic. Specifically, the reset-password.php script fails to adequately validate the token parameter, enabling unauthorized users to reset passwords without valid credentials. This vulnerability increases the risk of unauthorized access, making it crucial for users to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate potential attacks.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
