## Summary

Fider, a feedback portal, has a flaw in its multi-tenant mode that lets an attacker use an email verification key from one tenant to sign in as the same email address on another tenant, bypassing tenant isolation. The attack can be carried out remotely by someone who has a low-privilege login, and no user action is needed.

## Affected

- getfider fider: fixed in 0.36.0

## Description

Fider is a feedback portal for feature requests and suggestions. Prior to version 0.36.0, in multi-tenant mode (HOST_MODE=multi), an attacker can use an email verification key issued by Tenant A to authenticate as the same email address on Tenant B. This completely bypasses tenant isolation and allows unauthorized account takeover across tenants. Single-host deployments (HOST_MODE=single, the default) are NOT affected. This issue has been patched in version 0.36.0.

## What to do

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-65840 (Fider: Cross-Tenant Authentication Bypass via Missing tenant_id Filter in getVerificationByKey), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-65840 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- getfider fider: fixed in 0.36.0
Fixed versions: 0.36.0.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Multi-tenant mode (HOST_MODE=multi) is enabled (source: https://github.com/getfider/fider/security/advisories/GHSA-vxjw-gv4f-vq58)
Setup: the bug needs a feature or setting that is off by default or uncommon. Check whether each asset has it on.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-65840 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-65840 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/getfider/fider/security/advisories/GHSA-vxjw-gv4f-vq58
- https://github.com/getfider/fider/releases/tag/v0.36.0
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-65840 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-65840

### What does this mean?

An email verification key issued for one tenant can be used on another tenant to sign in as the same email address. This bypasses tenant isolation, so accounts on other tenants can be taken over, including administrator accounts.
