Summary
pH7Builder before 18.5.0 contains an information disclosure flaw (CWE-522) in its member API. The user listing and user lookup return unfiltered database rows, so API clients can read bcrypt password hashes, non-expiring reset tokens and TOTP secrets. A remote attacker with a valid private API key and low privileges can take over accounts and bypass two-factor authentication.
