CVE-2025-13565 is a vulnerability in SourceCodester Inventory Management System 1.0, affecting an unknown function in the file /model/user/resetPassword.php. Published on 2025-11-23, it involves a weakness classified under CWE-640 that enables weak password recovery mechanisms through remote manipulation.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), meaning unauthenticated attackers can exploit it over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Exploitation allows remote manipulation leading to weak password recovery, with an impact limited to integrity.

Advisories from VulDB (ctiid.333329, id.333329, submit.697984) and a Notion page detail the unauthenticated password reset issue, while the vendor site is sourcecodester.com. No specific patch or mitigation details are provided in the references.

The exploit has been made publicly available and could be exploited.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-12 Identity Proofing good match

Identity proofing at appropriate assurance levels ensures forgotten-password recovery cannot succeed without strong verification of the user.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

Authenticator management requires secure distribution, reset, and verification procedures that directly address weak password recovery flows.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Credential lifecycle management directly includes password reset/recovery flows.

PR.AA-02 mostly match
prevents

Identity proofing is the core control that prevents weak or bypassed recovery mechanisms.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication policy covers strength/MFA but does not address recovery path weaknesses.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC reduces implementation flaws but is not specific to password-recovery design.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
degrades

Strong authentication-information lifecycle rules directly address weak password-recovery flows.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure-SDLC practices can embed strong recovery design, yet the control is broader than this single weakness.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application-security requirements can mandate secure recovery flows, but the control covers many other requirements.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure-coding standards can prevent weak recovery implementations, yet the control is wider in scope.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
mitigates

Secure-authentication requirements include robust forgotten-password procedures.

A.5.18 Access rights none match
none

Proper access-rights provisioning can limit who can trigger recovery, but does not fix the recovery mechanism itself.
