{"id":"CVE-2026-44584","aliases":["GHSA-rv89-wch8-c574"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-44584","summary":"Paymenter doesn't reset email verification status after email change","details":"### Summary\nThe email update functionality fails to invalidate the existing verification state when a user changes their email address, allowing a verified account to retain its verified status after switching to an unverified or unowned email address.\n\n### Technical Details\nWhen a user updated their email address, the system did not reset or revalidate the associated email verification status. As a result, the verification column remained set to “true” even after the email address was changed.\n\nThis allowed an attacker to:\n\n- Verify an account using a legitimate email address\n- Change the account email to an arbitrary or unowned address\n- Retain the verified status without re-confirmation of the new email\n\nNo verification challenge or confirmation was required for the newly assigned email address.\n\n### Impact\nThis vulnerability allows a user to associate a verified account with an email address they do not control, this may result in:\n\n- Misrepresentation of email ownership\n- Bypass of verification-based trust assumptions\n- Potential abuse of features gated behind verified status\n\nNo direct unauthorized access to other users accounts or data is possible through this issue alone.","published":"2026-07-20T19:58:49.126Z","modified":"2026-10-21T02:58:00.275906751Z","cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00163,"percentile":0.05885,"asOf":"2026-09-16"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"paymenter/paymenter","fixedVersion":"1.5.0"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44584.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Paymenter/Paymenter/security/advisories/GHSA-rv89-wch8-c574"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44584"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/Paymenter/Paymenter"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-21T02:58:00.275906751Z"}}
