Description
Summary
When a customer changes their email address after requesting a password reset, the old password reset link (tied to the previous email) remains valid. An attacker with access to the old email inbox is potentially able to reset the customer’s password even after the user changes their email address.
PoC
- Log in to a Shopware account.
- Request a password reset for your current email address.
- Copy the password reset link but do not open it.
- Log back into your account.n
- Navigate to Account Settings → Email and change your email address.
- Use the previously copied reset link (from before the email change).
- The system allows password change using the old link.
Impact
Reproduced on Stable 6.6.10.7 and trunk.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for shopware/core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update shopware/core to 6.6.10.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2w46-vq8h-98vh is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-2w46-vq8h-98vh can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-2w46-vq8h-98vh. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-2w46-vq8h-98vh in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-2w46-vq8h-98vh across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
