NewCVE-2025-32782 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade ash_authentication to version 4.7.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function via the confirmation flow for account creation which uses a GET request triggered by clicking a link sent via email. An attacker can register an account using another user's email and potentially have it auto-confirmed by the victim's email client.
Note: This does not allow attackers to take over or access existing accounts or private data. It is limited to account confirmation of new accounts only.
Workaround
Users unable to upgrade to the fixed version should disable the confirmation routes and create their own live view.
