Description
TSPortal is the WikiTide Foundation’s in-house platform used by the Trust and Safety team to manage reports, investigations, appeals, and transparency work. Prior to version 34, a flaw in TSPortal allowed attackers to create arbitrary user records in the database by abusing validation logic. While validation correctly rejected invalid usernames, a side effect within a validation rule caused user records to be created regardless of whether the request succeeded. This could be exploited to cause uncontrolled database growth, leading to a potential denial of service (DoS). Version 34 contains a fix for the issue.

Impact

TSPortal is a platform used by the WikiTide Foundation to handle reports, investigations, appeals, and transparency work. A flaw in validation logic before version 34 allows attackers to create arbitrary user records even when the username validation fails. This side effect causes uncontrolled growth of the user database, which can exhaust storage or other system resources and lead to a denial of service. The issue is identified as CWE‑400 (Information Saturation) and CWE‑770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits).

Affected Systems

The vulnerable product is Miraheze TSPortal. Versions earlier than 34 are affected. The fix is included in version 34 and later releases. No other products or vendors are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates medium severity. An EPSS score of less than 1% implies a low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The description does not specify whether authentication is required, so it cannot be said that any special privileges are needed or that an attacker must have user access. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could trigger the bug by sending crafted requests to the user‑creation endpoint, but the exact method or required access is not detailed in the provided information.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the TSPortal version 34 or newer patch that fixes the validation side‑effect issue.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, consider temporarily disabling or restricting the user‑creation functionality and applying rate limiting to the endpoint.
  • Monitor database growth and resource utilization for anomalies that could indicate misuse.
