What is CVE-2026-22603?

OpenProject, a web-based project management tool, prior to version 16.6.2, has a security flaw that allows unauthenticated users to exploit the password change endpoint. Attackers can send unlimited password change requests without being subjected to brute-force protection mechanisms. This vulnerability enables them to perform automated guessing attacks against valid accounts, leading to account takeovers. Depending on the compromised user's role, this could facilitate further escalation within the application. Users are advised to upgrade to version 16.6.2 or apply manual patches to secure their accounts.
