CVE-2026-100870 Sylius CVE debrief
CVE-2026-100870 is a vulnerability in Sylius, a popular e-commerce platform, that allows unauthenticated attackers to redirect administrator password-reset tokens to attacker-controlled domains. This is achieved by exploiting the application's use of the Host header without validation when building password-reset links. Attackers can request password resets for known administrator email addresses with forged Host headers to intercept valid reset tokens and take over administrator accounts.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for Sylius installations, especially those with administrator accounts, should assess their exposure to this vulnerability and take necessary actions to secure their systems.
Why it matters
CVE-2026-100870 is a high-severity vulnerability in Sylius that allows attackers to redirect administrator password-reset tokens. Defenders should verify exposure, prioritize patching, and monitor for suspicious activity to prevent potential unauthorized access to administrator accounts.
- Potential unauthorized access to administrator accounts
- Possible lateral movement within the Sylius environment
- Need for verification of Sylius version exposure
- Priority patching or mitigation of vulnerable Sylius installations
Technical summary
The vulnerability exists in Sylius versions before 1.12.25, 1.13.17, 1.14.20, 2.1.16, and 2.2.9. It allows attackers to redirect administrator password-reset tokens to attacker-controlled domains by manipulating the Host header in password reset requests. This can lead to unauthorized access to administrator accounts. Defenders should verify exposure of Sylius installations to this vulnerability, especially if they have administrator accounts with known email addresses. They should also assess their inventory of Sylius versions and apply patches or mitigations as needed.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure of Sylius installations to this vulnerability, especially if they have administrator accounts with known email addresses. They should also assess their inventory of Sylius versions and apply patches or mitigations as needed.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify Sylius installations and their versions to determine exposure
- Apply patches or updates to vulnerable Sylius versions
- Monitor for suspicious password reset activity
- Consider implementing additional security measures for administrator accounts
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
