CVE-2021-32648 is an improper authentication vulnerability in the OctoberCMS October Rain library's password-reset validation. The vulnerable checkResetPasswordCode function compared reset values using PHP's loose equality operator rather than strict equality. An attacker can initiate a password reset and submit a specially crafted reset request, including a boolean true reset-code value, to bypass validation and gain control of the targeted account.
