Summary

The (1) lost password and (2) account pending features in GForge 4.5 do not properly set a limit on the number of e-mails sent to an e-mail address, which allows remote attackers to send a large number of messages to arbitrary e-mail addresses (aka mail bomb).

Exploit prediction

1.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 71% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
