CVE-2025-31380: Weak Password Recovery Mechanism Vulnerability in Paid Videochat Turnkey Site

Overview

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has recently identified a critical vulnerability, labeled as CVE-2025-31380, in the Paid Videochat Turnkey Site by videowhisper. This exploit allows potential attackers to exploit a weak password recovery mechanism to gain unauthorized access. As this vulnerability impacts the Paid Videochat Turnkey Site, it poses a significant risk to any organizations using versions up to 7.3.11 of the software. This makes the issue important to address promptly as it could lead to system compromise or data leakage.

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability arises from a weak password recovery mechanism in the Paid Videochat Turnkey Site. When a user requests password recovery, the site generates a predictable, non-random recovery code that an attacker can guess or compute with relative ease. This allows the attacker to initiate a password recovery process and gain unauthorized access to the user’s account, thereby potentially compromising the system or leading to data leakage.

Conceptual Example Code

Here’s a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:

POST /password_recovery HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"user_id": "target-user",
"recovery_code": "computed_recovery_code"
}

In this example, the attacker has computed the predictable recovery code for `target-user` and sends a POST request to the password recovery endpoint. If the server validates the `recovery_code`, the attacker will be able to reset the password and gain unauthorized access to the `target-user` account.

Mitigation

The best mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by the vendor as soon as it becomes available. If this is not immediately possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation by detecting and blocking suspicious activity related to this exploit. In the longer term, organizations should also consider implementing stronger password recovery mechanisms that use unpredictable, random recovery codes to prevent such vulnerabilities in the future.
Stay vigilant, stay safe. Your cybersecurity matters.
