- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial

- Fixed in: 1.3.6
- Published: 2023-08-25 · Updated: 2024-10-02

## Affected

- mesosoi silverwaregames-io-issue-tracker: fixed in 1.3.6

## Description

Silverware Games is a premium social network where people can play games online. Prior to version 1.3.6, the Password Recovery form would throw an error if the specified email was not found in our database. It would only display the "Enter the code" form if the email is associated with a member of the site. Since version 1.3.6, the "Enter the code" form is always returned, showing the message "If the entered email is associated with an account, a code will be sent now". This change prevents potential violators from determining if our site has a user with the specified email.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on mesosoi silverwaregames-io-issue-tracker, upgrade to a fixed version (1.3.6) per the references below.
