CVE-2026-10169: OUSL-GROUP-BrinaryBrains School Student Management System Forgot Password Endpoint Login.php ajax_forgot_password password recovery

A vulnerability was detected in OUSL-GROUP-BrinaryBrains School Student Management System up to 1e70e5ad1125b86dca4ee086eb6bb121f17708b6. Affected by this vulnerability is the function ajax_forgot_password of the file application/controllers/Login.php of the component Forgot Password Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument email results in weak password recovery. The attack can be launched remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit is now public and may be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This CVE affects the forgot-password flow in OUSL-GROUP-BrinaryBrains School Student Management System. A remote attacker may abuse weak password recovery behavior tied to the email parameter. The issue is medium severity, public, and reportedly difficult to exploit. There is no cited evidence of active exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat this as a moderate operational risk if the system is internet-facing or handles student accounts. Prioritize inventory and exposure reduction because no confirmed fix, version boundary, or vendor response is cited.

Technical view

The vulnerable function is ajax_forgot_password in application/controllers/Login.php, specifically handling the email argument. The issue is classified as CWE-640, weak password recovery, with CVSS 4.0 score 6.3. The advisory states remote exploitation is possible, unauthenticated, high complexity, and public exploit information exists.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to organizations running this specific open-source School Student Management System, especially internet-accessible login or forgot-password endpoints. The project lacks versioning, so affected and unaffected releases are unclear beyond the referenced commit lineage.

Exploitation context

Sources say the exploit is public and may be used, but exploitation is high complexity and difficult. The CVE is not listed as KEV in the supplied bundle, and no source confirms active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Evidence is strongest for vulnerability existence and public disclosure via VulDB, CVE records, and a GitHub issue. Evidence is incomplete for patched status, unaffected versions, and real-world exploitation. Avoid assuming broader products or versions beyond the supplied commit and project.

Mitigation direction

  • Check the project issue and vendor repository for official remediation guidance.
  • Limit public access to the forgot-password endpoint where operationally feasible.
  • Review password recovery logic for strong token generation and identity validation.
  • Monitor forgot-password activity for unusual request patterns or account-targeting behavior.
  • Plan replacement or compensating controls if the project remains unmaintained.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory deployments of OUSL-GROUP-BrinaryBrains School Student Management System.
  • Identify whether deployed code includes application/controllers/Login.php ajax_forgot_password.
  • Confirm the deployment lineage against commit 1e70e5ad1125b86dca4ee086eb6bb121f17708b6.
  • Perform only authorized, non-destructive password recovery tests in a test environment.
  • Review logs for abnormal forgot-password requests against multiple accounts.
