Technical description

Automatisch reveals whether an address is registered through the response to its forgot-password request. The controller at packages/backend/src/controllers/internal/api/v1/users/forgot-password.js looks the address up and chains a not-found throw onto the query, so an address with no account raises an error that the global handler renders as a not-found status, while a registered address proceeds to send the reset message and returns no-content. The route is mounted without authentication. Submitting candidate addresses and comparing the two status codes therefore establishes which addresses hold accounts, with no credential and no rate limiting in the path.

——12Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to 15.115.0 and 16.27.0, the public request-data web form and PersonalDataDownloadRequest class in frappe/website/doctype/personal_data_download_request/personal_data_download_request.py return distinguishable response shapes for registered and unregistered email addresses, including the user_name field and persistence behavior. A remote attacker can compare the responses to enumerate registered users. This issue is fixed in versions 15.115.0 and 16.27.0.11d CVE-2026-54739—

——11Lemmy is a link aggregator and forum for the fediverse. Prior to 0.19.19 and 1.0.0-beta.1, Lemmy's login endpoint in crates/api/api/src/local_user/login.rs returns different errors depending on whether the username_or_email value exists. LocalUserView::find_by_email_or_name propagates a NotFound response for an unknown account, while an existing account with a wrong password returns LemmyErrorType::IncorrectLogin. This observable response discrepancy, including HTTP 404 for a nonexistent account and HTTP 400 for an incorrect password on an existing account, allows an unauthenticated attacker to confirm registered usernames or email addresses and use the results for targeted credential attacks or social engineering. This issue is fixed in versions 0.19.19 and 1.0.0-beta.1.11d CVE-2026-199653.7 LOW

——10A vulnerability was determined in automad up to 2.0.0-beta.32. This vulnerability affects the function requestPasswordResetToken of the file automad/src/server/Controllers/API/UserController.php of the component Password Reset Endpoint. This manipulation of the argument name-or-email causes observable response discrepancy. The attack can be initiated remotely. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Upgrading to version 2.0.0-beta.33 is able to resolve this issue. Patch name: eac0b05dafdb0ddf8b9139dad8929aaba86568ca. You should upgrade the affected component.12d CVE-2026-146725.3 MED

——5Observable response discrepancy in PostgreSQL SCRAM authentication allows an unauthenticated user to test the existence of a user via observing the SCRAM iteration count. This requires the probed user to have a non-default scram_iterations count, because the authentication challenge for a nonexistent user reports the default scram_iterations. Within major versions 16-18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, and 16.15 are affected. Versions before PostgreSQL 16 are unaffected.3d
