CVE-2026-25858 Macrozheng CVE debrief

CVE-2026-25858 is a critical authentication vulnerability in macrozheng mall version 1.0.3 and prior. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to reset arbitrary user account passwords using only a victim's telephone number. The password reset flow exposes the one-time password (OTP) directly in the API response and 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.
