CVE-2026-33541

TSPortal's Uncontrolled User Creation via Validation Side Effects Leads to Potential Denial of Service

Published Mar 26, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
TSPortal is the WikiTide Foundation’s in-house platform used by the Trust and Safety team to manage reports, investigations, appeals, and transparency work. Prior to version 34, a flaw in TSPortal allowed attackers to create arbitrary user records in the database by abusing validation logic. While validation correctly rejected invalid usernames, a side effect within a validation rule caused user records to be created regardless of whether the request succeeded. This could be exploited to cause uncontrolled database growth, leading to a potential denial of service (DoS). Version 34 contains a fix for the issue.
