CVE-2026-26273

Known is a social publishing platform. Prior to 1.6.3, a Critical Broken Authentication vulnerability exists in Known 1.6.2 and earlier. The application leaks the password reset token within a hidden HTML input field on the password reset page. This allows any unauthenticated attacker to retrieve the reset token for any user by simply querying the user's email, leading to full Account Takeover (ATO) without requiring access to the victim's email inbox. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.6.3.

Summary
  • (es) Known es una plataforma de publicación social. Antes de 1.6.3, existe una vulnerabilidad crítica de autenticación rota en Known 1.6.2 y versiones anteriores. La aplicación filtra el token de restablecimiento de contraseña dentro de un campo de entrada HTML oculto en la página de restablecimiento de contraseña. Esto permite a cualquier atacante no autenticado recuperar el token de restablecimiento para cualquier usuario simplemente consultando el correo electrónico del usuario, lo que lleva a una toma de control total de la cuenta (ATO) sin requerir acceso a la bandeja de entrada de correo electrónico de la víctima. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 1.6.3.
