Technical details

The user-confirmation endpoint in Omada Controller MSP mode fails to enforce permission checks, allowing an authenticated attacker to supply arbitrary user identifiers and receive differentiated responses indicating whether a user exists, has an invalid password, or authenticated successfully. This requires authentication but no special privileges, and enables user enumeration and credential verification attacks.
