Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.26% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs WeblateOrg weblate and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: No default targetRemediation target: Normal maintenance

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

EUVD-2026-66710

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to 2026.8, an authenticated user can change the account's primary email through PUT or PATCH requests to /api/users/{username}/ without verifying the new address, allowing a later team invitation for that address to be accepted without access to the intended recipient's mailbox. This issue is fixed in version 2026.8.

What, why and how

Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to 2026.8, an authenticated user can change the account's primary email through PUT or PATCH requests to /api/users/{username}/ without verifying the new address, allowing a later team invitation for that address to be accepted without access to the intended recipient's mailbox. This issue is fixed in version 2026.8.

Prior to 2026.8, an authenticated user can change the account's primary email through PUT or PATCH requests to /api/users/{username}/ without verifying the new address, allowing a later team invitation for that address to be accepted without access to the intended recipient's mailbox. This issue is fixed in version 2026.8.

Why

The authentication scheme or implementation uses key data elements that are assumed to be immutable, but can be controlled or modified by the attacker.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

CWE-302 ↗

CWE-302: Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data. The authentication scheme or implementation uses key data elements that are assumed to be immutable, but can be controlled or modified by the attacker.
