Vulnerability in Craft CMS (CVE-2026-72780)

Summary

Vulnerability in Craft CMS (CVE-2026-72780). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Craft CMS passkey login accepts WebAuthn requestOptions from the unauthenticated login request body and does not persist the updated credential counter returned by the WebAuthn assertion validator. A captured passkey login request body can therefore be replayed because the old challenge is accepted again, and the stored credential counter remains stale.

Craft CMS 5.10.3 and current 5.x HEAD accept PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions from the unauthenticated users/login-with-passkey request body and do not persist the updated PublicKeyCredentialSource returned/mutated by web-auth/webauthn-lib after assertion validation.

As a result, a captured passkey login request body is not one-time-use. Reposting the same requestOptions and response can result in validation against the same stale credential counter and create another Craft session for that user. This weakens passkeys from a fresh, server-challenged authentication ceremony into a replayable bearer artifact if one successful assertion body is exposed.

Attack Scenario

  1. A victim successfully logs in with a passkey.
  2. The POST /actions/users/login-with-passkey body containing requestOptions and response is captured from an application/request log, debugging proxy, browser extension, compromised analytics layer, or another request-body disclosure point.
  3. The attacker reposts the same body to users/login-with-passkey.
  4. Craft deserializes the attacker-supplied requestOptions, so the old challeng…
