CVE-2026-45410 PUBLISHED

Time-based user enumeration in TREK authentication endpoint

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 12.05.2026 Published: 28.05.2026 Updated: 28.05.2026

TREK is a collaborative travel planner. Prior to 3.0.18, early return on missing user during login flow allowed an attacker to enumerate valid user accounts via response timing discrepancy. When an email address existed in the database, the backend performed a bcrypt password comparison before returning a 401 Unauthorized, adding ~370 ms of latency. When the email did not exist, the backend returned immediately (~10 ms). This ~14× timing difference could be detected without any difference in HTTP status codes or response bodies. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.18.
