AcademyWildcard Account Lookup and Unsalted Hash Identifiers Defeat PII Masking
An account-recovery API interpreted the supplied email selector as a wildcard pattern, allowing unauthenticated enumeration of arbitrary users. Although email addresses and phone numbers were visually masked, the API returned unsalted SHA-256 identifiers derived directly from the original values, making the masked PII recoverable. The report was accepted as High with CVSS 7.5 and rewarded with €400.
