Summary
/user/sessions endpoint allows detecting valid accounts
This Security Advisory is about a vulnerability in eZ Platform v1.13, v2.5, and v3.2, and in Ibexa DXP and Ibexa Open Source v3.3. The /user/sessions endpoint can let an attacker detect if a given username or email refers to a valid account. This can be detected through differences in the response data or response time of certain requests. The fix ensures neither attack is possible. The fix is distributed via Composer.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8? GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8 is a high-severity security vulnerability in ezsystems/ezplatform-rest (composer), affecting versions >= 1.2.0, <= 1.2.2.0. It is fixed in 1.2.2.1, 1.3.1.1.
- Which versions of ezsystems/ezplatform-rest are affected by GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8? ezsystems/ezplatform-rest (composer) versions >= 1.2.0, <= 1.2.2.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8? Yes. GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8 is fixed in 1.2.2.1, 1.3.1.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-7VWG-39H8-8QP8 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
