Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-203.
Summary
Coder before 2.29.17, from 2.30.0 before 2.32.7, from 2.33.0 before 2.33.8, and from 2.34.0 before 2.34.2 contains a user enumeration flaw (CWE-203). The password comparison in userpassword.Compare() substitutes a placeholder hash when a stored password hash is empty. An unauthenticated attacker can tell valid accounts apart from invalid ones by the login response codes and learn the sign-in provider of SSO-only users.

Description from the CNA
Coder before 2.29.17, 2.30.0 before 2.32.7, 2.33.0 before 2.33.8, and 2.34.0 before 2.34.2 contains a user enumeration vulnerability because userpassword.Compare() substitutes a placeholder hash derived from the string "hunter2" when a stored password hash is empty. Unauthenticated attackers can submit logins with the password "hunter2" and distinguish HTTP 403 from 401 responses to enumerate valid accounts and reveal the authentication provider of SSO-only users.
