The force-reset-password endpoint permits anonymous requests and fails to verify the existing password or a reset token when resetting system administrator accounts. An unauthenticated attacker can supply a target administrator username and a new password to reset the account, resulting in full administrative compromise of the SmarterMail instance. NOTE: SmarterMail system administrator privileges grant the ability to execute operating system commands via built-in management functionality, effectively providing administrative (SYSTEM or root) access on the underlying host.","published":"2026-01-22T14:35:17.235Z","modified":"2026-08-04T03:56:03.047Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.96438,"percentile":0.99879,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":{"dateAdded":"2026-01-26","dueDate":"2026-02-16","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":true},"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"FIX","url":"https://www.smartertools.com/smartermail/release-notes/current"},{"type":"EXPLOIT","url":"https://labs.watchtowr.com/attackers-with-decompilers-strike-again-smartertools-smartermail-wt-2026-0001-auth-bypass/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://code-white.com/public-vulnerability-list/#authenticationserviceforceresetpassword-missing-authentication-in-smartermail"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/smartertools-smartermail-authentication-bypass-via-password-reset-api"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.huntress.com/blog/smartermail-account-takeover-leading-to-rce"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog?field_cve=CVE-2026-23760"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","CISA KEV","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-04T03:56:03.047Z"}}
