Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation of untrusted inputs like the malicious Host header in forgot password requests to prevent injection and URL manipulation.

IA-5 Authenticator Management partial match
prevent

Mandates secure management of authenticators including password reset tokens to mitigate interception and unauthorized use via manipulated reset links.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

Enforces boundary protection mechanisms such as web application firewalls to filter or block requests exploiting Host header injection in public-facing password reset functionality.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2022-50910 is a host header injection vulnerability in Beehive Forum version 1.5.2, specifically within the forgot password functionality. This issue, classified under CWE-640, enables attackers to manipulate password reset requests by injecting a malicious host header, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Remote attackers require no privileges, authentication, or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network. By injecting a malicious host header, they can intercept password reset tokens sent to victims, allowing unauthorized password changes and full account takeover without direct authentication.

Advisories and references, including a Vulncheck advisory on Beehive Forum account takeover and an Exploit-DB entry (50923) with a public exploit, highlight the issue. The Beehive Forum project page on SourceForge and official website provide additional context, along with an Imgur-hosted proof-of-concept image.
