CVE-2025-62294
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSOPlanning is vulnerable to Predictable Generation of Password Recovery Token. Due to weak mechanism of generating recovery tokens, a malicious attacker is able to brute-force all possible values and takeover any account in reasonable amount of time. This issue was fixed in version 1.55.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSOPlanning uses a weak, predictable algorithm to generate password recovery tokens. An attacker can enumerate valid tokens through brute-force due to insufficient entropy in the token generation mechanism, enabling complete account takeover of any user account.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify SOPlanning installationLocate the SOPlanning application in your environment. This is typically deployed as a web application. Check your web server document roots, application directories, or container images for the SOPlanning codebase.Affected if SOPlanning is not installed in the environment - you are not affected.
-
Determine installed versionLocate the version file or version indicator within the SOPlanning installation. Check for a version.php file, a config file with version information, or the main index file that may display version details. Compare your found version against the vulnerable range.Affected if The installed version is 1.55.00 or later - you are NOT affected. The installed version is earlier than 1.55.00 - you ARE affected.
-
Verify password recovery is accessibleCheck if the password recovery or 'forgot password' functionality is enabled and accessible on your SOPlanning instance. This is typically found at a URL path like /password_forgot.php or similar. Confirm the endpoint responds and accepts user input.Affected if Password recovery functionality is disabled or not accessible - the attack surface may be reduced but the weak algorithm still exists in the codebase.
You are affected if SOPlanning is installed with a version earlier than 1.55.00 and the password recovery feature is accessible, as the weak token generation algorithm allows brute-force enumeration leading to account takeover.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.55.00
Upgrade to SOPlanning version 1.55 or later which implements cryptographically secure token generation. Additionally, implement rate limiting on password reset endpoints to further mitigate brute-force attempts.
Soplanning 1.55 (or 1.55.00)
- 1. Verify current Soplanning version is below 1.55.00
- 2. Obtain Soplanning version 1.55 from the official vendor (www.soplanning.org)
- 3. Back up the existing database and configuration files before upgrading
- 4. Apply the version 1.55 upgrade following standard upgrade procedures
