## Overview

NivoCart through 2.4.0 contains a destructive configuration write vulnerability in the admin password reset controller that allows unauthenticated attackers to disable password recovery by supplying an invalid code parameter. Attackers can send a GET request with a missing or incorrect code to rewrite the config_password setting to 0, disabling self-service password recovery until an administrator manually re-enables it.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
