Password Reset Poisoning in elgg/elgg. Elgg uses the HTTP Host-Header in a password reset request to generate the password reset link that is sent to the user in an email without any filters or checks. This allows an attacker to craft a password reset request using a manipulated host header, resulting in reset-token leakage and thus account takeover if the victim clicks the manipulated password reset link.
