Password reset request on thethingsnetwork.org/conference returns different responses for valid/invalid usernames
Incident Report for The Things Network
Resolved
Security researcher Nurul Hüda Bursali reported that the password reset request on thethingsnetwork.org/conference returns different responses for valid/invalid usernames. This would allow attackers to guess valid usernames by trail/error which may open up possibilities for more directed attacks. We've implemented and deployed a simple fix which disables password resets on this page since this is only used by a small group of internal users.

We would like to thank Nurul Hüda Bursali for responsibly disclosing this issue and making The Things Network a safer place.
