CVE-2026-33541: TSPortal's Uncontrolled User Creation via Validation Side Effects Leads to Potential Denial of Service
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).
