CVE-2026-25858 Macrozheng CVE debrief

Who should care

macrozheng mall users and administrators should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to protect their systems. This vulnerability is particularly concerning because it allows remote account takeover of any user with a known or guessable telephone number.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the mall-portal password reset workflow of macrozheng mall version 1.0.3 and prior. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to reset arbitrary user account passwords using only a victim's telephone number. The password reset flow has two critical issues: 1) it exposes the one-time password (OTP) directly in the API response, and 2) it validates password reset requests solely by comparing the provided OTP to a value stored by telephone number, without verifying user identity or ownership of the telephone number.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Update macrozheng mall to a version that fixes this vulnerability
• Implement additional authentication mechanisms for password reset workflows
• Monitor for suspicious password reset attempts
• Educate users on the importance of secure password management
• Consider implementing multi-factor authentication
