Summary
Netherman Portal del Hermano (portaldelhermano.es) before 2026-10-06 has a broken authentication flaw in its password recovery flow at the POST /password/create-access and POST /password/email endpoints. The endpoints lack rate limiting and return distinct error messages that reveal whether each identity factor is correct, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can check DNI, date of birth, phone number and IBAN digits and then redirect the password reset link to an email address they control. This allows full takeover of any member account across all tenants, exposing profile data, full IBAN and fiscal documents. The weakness is classified as CWE-307 and CWE-640.

Description from the CNA
Netherman Portal del Hermano (portaldelhermano.es) before 2026-10-06 contains a broken authentication vulnerability in its password-recovery flow at the POST /password/create-access and POST /password/email endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to take over any member account across all tenants by exploiting the lack of rate limiting and distinct error messages that act as oracles for each of the four identity-verification factors (DNI, date of birth, phone number, last four IBAN digits). Attackers can confirm the DNI via the oracle, brute-force the date of birth and IBAN digits, obtain the phone number through open-source intelligence, then submit an attacker-controlled email field so the password reset link is delivered to them, enabling full account takeover including profile data, full IBAN, and fiscal documents.
