CVE-2026-43948: wger: cross-tenant password reset and plaintext disclosure via gym=None bypass

May 6, 2026 (updated May 13, 2026)

The reset_user_password and gym_permissions_user_edit views in wger perform a gym-scope authorization check using Python object comparison (!=) that evaluates None != None as False, silently bypassing the guard when both the attacker and victim have no gym assignment (gym=None). A user with gym.manage_gym permission and gym=None can reset the password of any other gym=None user; the new plaintext password is returned verbatim in the HTML response body, enabling one-shot full account takeover. The victim’s original password is invalidated, locking them out permanently.
