SCA: security update for wger (GHSA-mhc8-p3jx-84mm)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441367

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - wger is a free, open-source workout and fitness manager. Prior to 2.6, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6. (CVE-2026-43948)

Solution

Update the wger library and its related packages to version 2.6 or later.
