CVE-2021-32648 is an account takeover vulnerability in OctoberCMS affecting the october/system package in versions prior to Build 472 in the 1.0 branch and prior to v1.1.5 in the 1.1 branch. The flaw exists in the password reset workflow, specifically in the checkResetPasswordCode function in the October Rain library's user authentication model, where a password reset code was compared using PHP's loose equality operator rather than a strict comparison. Under affected conditions, an attacker can initiate a password reset for a target account and then submit a specially crafted request that bypasses proper reset-code validation, allowing unauthorized access to the account.
