Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In Talend Administration Center 7.3.1.20200219 before TAC-15950, the Forgot Password feature provides different error messages for invalid reset attempts depending on whether the email address is associated with any account. This allows remote attackers to enumerate accounts via a series of requests.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Forgot Password feature in Talend Administration Center returns different error messages for password reset requests depending on whether the provided email address is associated with a valid user account. This allows remote attackers to perform account enumeration by observing the differing responses.

MitigationImplement a generic, uniform error message for all invalid password reset requests so that the response does not disclose whether an email address is registered in the system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Talend Administration Center deployment
    Check if Talend Administration Center is accessible in your environment by accessing its web interface (typically on ports 8080, 8443, or similar). Look for the TAC login page.
    Affected if Talend Administration Center is publicly or internally accessible via web browser
  2. Locate the Forgot Password endpoint
    Navigate to the login page of Talend Administration Center and identify the Forgot Password or password reset link. Note the URL path used for password reset requests.
    Affected if The Forgot Password feature is accessible and available on the login page
  3. Test response with non-existent email
    Submit a password reset request using an email address that is guaranteed NOT to be registered in your TAC system (e.g., [email protected]). Capture the exact error message or response returned.
    Affected if An error message is returned indicating the email is not found or does not exist
  4. Test response with valid email
    Submit a password reset request using an email address that IS registered in your TAC system. Capture the exact error message or response returned.
    Affected if A different error message is returned (or no error) indicating the email was found or a reset email was sent
  5. Compare error message responses
    Compare the exact text, status codes, or behavior observed in steps 3 and 4. Determine if the responses differ in a way that reveals whether the email address is valid.
    Affected if The two responses differ, revealing whether the email address exists in the system (this indicates the vulnerability is present)

Your environment is affected if Talend Administration Center is running and the Forgot Password feature returns different messages for valid versus invalid email addresses, allowing account enumeration.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement a generic, uniform error message for all invalid password reset requests so that the response does not disclose whether an email address is registered in the system.

Recommended fix High confidence

Apply patch TAC-15950 to Talend Administration Center 7.3.1.20200219

  1. 1. Identify the current Talend Administration Center version by checking Help > About in the TAC interface
  2. 2. Navigate to the Talend Support Portal or official patch repository to obtain patch TAC-15950
  3. 3. Download patch TAC-15950 for Talend Administration Center 7.3.1
  4. 4. Apply the patch following Talend's standard patching procedure: backup the current TAC installation directory, stop the TAC server, extract and install the patch files, restart the TAC server
  5. 5. Verify the patch was applied successfully by checking the version information again
  6. 6. Test the Forgot Password feature with both valid and invalid email addresses to confirm they now return consistent error messages
Caveat Standard patch application - minimal risk but should test in non-production first
