CVE-2026-49952 PUBLISHED

Discuz! X5.0 Authentication Bypass via dbbak.php Encryption Oracle

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 02.06.2026 Published: 15.06.2026 Updated: 16.06.2026

Discuz! X5.0 releases 20260320 through 20260501 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to database backup and restore functionality by exploiting a shared cryptographic key between UCenter integration and the database backup API exposed by dbbak.php. Attackers can inject a crafted payload through the username parameter during login to abuse the encryption oracle in logging_ctl::logging_more(), obtain a legitimately signed token, and use it to bypass authorization for database export and import operations, with the additional ability to trigger a race condition to impersonate arbitrary users.
