Technical details
The email authenticator enrollment endpoint accepts a recipient email address from the setup request instead of using the address already established by the authentication flow, allowing an unauthenticated attacker with knowledge of a user's password to redirect enrollment codes to an attacker-controlled email. The vulnerability requires the attacker to know the target user's password and only affects users without a pre-existing email authenticator enrollment. Patches are available in versions 2026.2.7, 2026.5.7, and 2026.8.2.
