Janto: Unverified Password Change
CVE-2025-1107 is a critical-severity unverified password change vulnerability in Janto from Impronta, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version r12 as the first without the flaw, so updating Janto to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Janto to r12 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Unverified password change vulnerability in Janto, versions prior to r12. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker to change another user's password without knowing their current password. To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker must create a specific POST request and send it to the endpoint ‘/public/cgi/Gateway.php’.

The underlying weakness: Unverified Password Change
When setting a new password for a user, the product does not require knowledge of the original password, or using another form of authentication.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- When prompting for a password change, force the user to provide the original password in addition to the new password.
- Do not use forgotten password functionality. But if you must, ensure that you are only providing information to the actual user, e.g. by using an email address or challenge question that the legitimate user already provided in the past; do not allow the current user to change this identity information until the correct password has been provided.
Timeline
