CVE-2026-11515

Vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Barangay Resident Profiling and Information Management System version 1.0. Specifically, the password_reset.php file within the Password Reset Handler component contains an unknown function that is susceptible to manipulation. By providing the input password123 to the new_password argument, an attacker can trigger the use of a hard-coded password.

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely without requiring any authentication. The attack involves sending a crafted request to the password_reset.php script, manipulating the new_password parameter with the value password123 to trigger the hard-coded password mechanism.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to effectively reset user passwords to a known, hard-coded value. This could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts and sensitive resident information managed by the system.

Mitigation

No specific patch or fixed version has been disclosed in the available references. Users are advised to consult the vendor for information on available security updates. The system is listed on SourceCodester, which provides free source code projects and tutorials [1].
