Short explanation
In Part-DB versions prior to 2.13.3, the password‑reset email URL is built from the client‑supplied HTTP Host header. When an unauthenticated attacker submits a forgot‑password request for a known account with a spoofed Host header, the generated reset link contains an attacker‑controlled hostname while still embedding the legitimate reset token. The victim opening the link (or an automated mail scanner dereferencing it) leaks the token, which the attacker replays against the real instance to set a new password and take over the account, resulting in pre‑authentication administrative takeover. (S0)
The flaw enables an attacker to obtain full administrative privileges without authenticating, and can be triggered by automated email scanners.
What should be done?
- Upgrade to version 2.13.3 or later (if available)
- Implement Host header validation to allow only trusted domains
- Ensure reset tokens are single‑use and have short lifetimes
- Detect forged Host requests via firewall and monitoring
- Monitor vendor advisories as patch status is currently uncertain
The sources give limited detail on some technical conditions. Review the chain of evidence below before deciding how to act.

Host başlığı doğrulaması eksikliği, saldırganın kontrolündeki alan adıyla geçerli bir şifre sıfırlama tokenı içeren bağlantı oluşturmasını sağlar (S0)
Bu token, kurbanın e‑posta istemcisi veya otomatik tarayıcı tarafından açıldığında saldırgana sızar ve aynı token gerçek sunucuda yeniden kullanılarak yönetici hesabı ele geçirilir (S0)
Show the technical text from the sources
Part-DB is an open source inventory management system for electronic components. Prior to version 2.13.3, Part-DB builds the absolute URL of the password-reset link it emails to a user from the client-supplied HTTP Host header, with no trusted-host validation. An unauthenticated attacker who submits a forgot-password request for a known account while sending a spoofed Host header causes Part-DB to email that account a reset link whose hostname is attacker-controlled, while still embedding the genuine reset token. When the victim opens the link (or an automated inbound mail-security scanner dereferences it), the valid token is disclosed to the attacker, who replays it against the real instance to set a new password and take over the account. Because the seeded admin account can be targeted, this yields full pre-authentication administrative account takeover. This issue has been patched in version 2.13.3.
