CVE-2025-31478
Zulip is an open-source team collaboration tool. Zulip supports a configuration where account creation is limited solely by being able to authenticate with a single-sign on authentication backend, meaning the organization places no restrictions on email address domains or invitations being required to join, but has disabled the EmailAuthBackend that is used for email/password authentication. A bug in the Zulip server means that it is possible to create an account in such organizations, without having an account with the configured SSO authentication backend. This issue is patched in version 10.2. A workaround includes requiring invitations to join the organization prevents the vulnerability from being accessed.

"value": "Zulip es una herramienta de colaboración en equipo de código abierto. Zulip admite una configuración donde la creación de cuentas está limitada únicamente por la autenticación con un backend de inicio de sesión único. Esto significa que la organización no impone restricciones sobre los dominios de correo electrónico ni las invitaciones requeridas para unirse, pero ha deshabilitado el EmailAuthBackend utilizado para la autenticación de correo electrónico y contraseña. Un error en el servidor de Zulip permite crear una cuenta en estas organizaciones sin tener una cuenta con el backend de autenticación SSO configurado. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 10.2. Un workaround consiste en requerir invitaciones para unirse a la organización, lo que impide el acceso a la vulnerabilidad."
