CVE-2026-48084Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account compromise via unthrottled passphrase guessing

Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026

Improper login throttling in OpenReception before 1.0.2 allows remote attackers to compromise accounts through passphrase guessing. The passphrase branch of /api/auth/login returns authentication failures without recording them in the existing throttle service. A valid email address is required, and a successful guess grants the compromised account's application privileges.
