# Miniflux: password change skips current-password check, enabling account takeover

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-128331 (this .md is for agents)

Miniflux, a self-hosted RSS reader, lets a signed-in session change the account password without entering the current one. An attacker with a stolen session cookie or access to an unattended signed-in browser can set a new password and lock the owner out.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the Miniflux version: `miniflux -version` or the version shown in the web interface footer
- Confirm whether the version is below `2.3.5`

## Fix

- Miniflux: upgrade to `2.3.5` or later

## From the sources

Miniflux before 2.3.5 contains an unverified password change vulnerability that allows holders of a signed-in session to change the account password without supplying the current password. Attackers with a stolen session cookie or unattended device can submit new password fields via updateSettings to lock out the owner and take over the account.
