Summary

CVE-2026-66028 is a high-severity Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm (CWE-303) vulnerability in Codecanyon (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Local Accounts (T1078.003); ranked at the 25th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-4 (Identifier Management) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Ekushey Project Manager CRM through version 5.0 contains a missing uniqueness constraint vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to create duplicate client accounts with identical email and password credentials. Attackers can exploit the lack of email field uniqueness enforcement to create…

more

conflicting account states where multiple accounts share the same email address with different passwords, resulting in unpredictable authentication behavior and unauthorized account access.

CWE(s)

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1078.003 Local Accounts Stealth
Adversaries may obtain and abuse credentials of a local account as a means of gaining Initial Access, Persistence, Privilege Escalation, or Defense Evasion.
T1136.001 Local Account Persistence
Adversaries may create a local account to maintain access to victim systems.
Why these techniques?

Missing uniqueness constraint on client emails allows duplicate account creation by admins, directly enabling creation of conflicting local accounts (T1136.001) that result in unauthorized access via valid credentials (T1078.003).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Requires management of identifiers (such as email addresses) to prevent reuse or duplication, directly blocking creation of conflicting accounts with identical emails.

prevent

Mandates validation of information inputs to enforce uniqueness constraints on fields like email during account creation.

prevent

Requires disciplined account management processes that include controls to avoid duplicate or conflicting user accounts.

degrades

Secure authentication control directly requires correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

detects

Security testing can detect flawed authentication implementations but does not prevent them by itself.

degrades

Cryptography control addresses proper use of authentication algorithms but is broader than authentication alone.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes verification steps that can catch incorrect authentication implementations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify correct authentication algorithm use but do not guarantee correct implementation.

prevents

Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of incorrect authentication algorithm implementation.
