dataCycle User API Password Reset And Confirmation Flows Trust Attacker- Controlled Redirect Targets

dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, a low-privileged authenticated API user can supply forwardToUrl and redirectUrl values when triggering password reset or confirmation flows. Those values are then embedded into the outgoing email workflow without host allowlisting. This creates two related abuse paths: - password reset or confirmation links can be sent to a victim with the token already attached to an attacker-controlled forwardToUrl - after a legitimate password reset completes, the browser is redirected to attacker-controlled redirectUrl

In practice, this can be used for phishing, token capture, confirmation hijacking, or steering a victim from a trusted email into an attacker domain. This is patched in version 26.06.08.
