# listmonk: password reset skips TOTP check, letting attackers log in as admin

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-128333 (this .md is for agents)

listmonk 6.0.0 before 7.0.0-beta.2 skips two-factor (TOTP) verification after a password reset. An attacker who can complete a reset, for example by reading the victim's reset email, gets a fully authenticated session, including Super Admin.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed listmonk version against the range `6.0.0` to `7.0.0-beta.2` (exclusive)
- Confirm whether TOTP two-factor login is enabled on admin accounts
- Check who can read the mailbox that receives listmonk password reset emails

## Fix

- listmonk: upgrade to `7.0.0-beta.2` or later

## From the sources

listmonk 6.0.0 before 7.0.0-beta.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in doResetPassword that skips TOTP verification after a password reset. Attackers who can complete a reset, such as by reading the victim's reset email, obtain fully authenticated sessions including Super Admin without the TOTP code.
