CVE-2026-7167
The vulnerability arises when the system fails to properly validate the 'email' field during the authentication process, allowing unverified or fake email addresses to be accepted.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The vulnerability arises when the system fails to properly validate the 'email' field during the authentication process, allowing unverified or fake email addresses to be accepted. This lack of validation enables the creation of user accounts with fake email addresses, facilitating the mass creation of fraudulent accounts. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker to carry out various attacks, such as mass spam distribution, system abuse, or bypassing user controls, thereby compromising the security and integrity of the system.
