  • •XenForo versions before 2.3.13 have three critical vulnerabilities.
  • •Attackers can exploit these flaws for unauthorized access and account takeover.
  • •No active exploitation has been confirmed, but immediate patching is recommended.

XenForo versions prior to 2.3.13 are affected by three critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-73311, CVE-2026-73312, and CVE-2026-73309. These vulnerabilities include an OAuth2 authorization code reuse flaw, a refresh token replay issue, and an authentication bypass vulnerability, respectively. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access to user accounts, potentially leading to account takeovers and data theft. The vulnerabilities are network-based and require no prior user interaction, making them particularly dangerous for internet-facing community and support portals. Although the vulnerabilities have been disclosed, there is currently no evidence of active exploitation. Administrators are advised to apply the vendor's security updates promptly and review their OAuth integrations for potential misuse. The vulnerabilities were published on 2026-09-08.
