Username enumeration via password-reset timing oracle
Published May 28, 2025 · Updated May 29, 2025
Observable response discrepancy in affected Mautic releases allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames through password-reset timing. PublicController::passwordResetAction looks up the submitted identifier and sends reset mail only when a user exists, producing a measurable time gap without request throttling. Access to the public login page is sufficient; repeated measurements reveal account existence but do not expose credentials or modify accounts.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=> 1.0 << 6.0.2, < 5.2.6, < 4.4.16
