Tinyauth Security Update Addresses 3 Vulnerabilities
Tech GuruQuick Answer
The authority published GHSA-456h-ww26-f758 for Tinyauth packages and release streams identified in the project advisories. The project published 3 security advisories: Tinyauth: User enumeration attack by timing oracle; Tinyauth: forward-auth per-app ACL is matched case-sensitively against the (case-insensitive) hostname, letting an authenticated user reach apps they are not on the allowlist for; Tinyauth: Unauthenticated login attempts can trigger global login lockdown denial of service Affected deployments should be matched to the authority's exact scope and moved to the supported fixed release.
Confirm Scope And Apply The Supported Fix
What to do now: Inventory Tinyauth packages and release streams identified in the project advisories, match the exact affected release or feature, apply the authority-supported fixed build or service remediation, validate the dependent workflow, and preserve evidence.

What Changed
The project published 3 security advisories: Tinyauth: User enumeration attack by timing oracle; Tinyauth: forward-auth per-app ACL is matched case-sensitively against the (case-insensitive) hostname, letting an authenticated user reach apps they are not on the allowlist for; Tinyauth: Unauthenticated login attempts can trigger global login lockdown denial of service
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate Tinyauth packages and release streams identified in the project advisories deployments, versions, enabled features, exposure paths, owners, and dependent services.
- Establish applicability. Compare each deployment with the authority's affected-version statement: github.com/tinyauthapp/tinyauth < 1.0.1-0.20260714134959-c22925c2fba9; github.com/tinyauthapp/tinyauth < 1.0.1-0.20260720133915-80bc87188ec3; github.com/steveiliop56/tinyauth < 1.0.1-0.20260715123057-dade1e2c8f27 Do not infer applicability from product family or severity alone.
- Remediate. Apply github.com/tinyauthapp/tinyauth 1.0.1-0.20260714134959-c22925c2fba9; github.com/tinyauthapp/tinyauth 1.0.1-0.20260720133915-80bc87188ec3; github.com/steveiliop56/tinyauth 1.0.1-0.20260715123057-dade1e2c8f27 through the supported vendor or project channel, following the current advisory and change-control requirements.
- Validate. Confirm the resulting version or managed-service state, exercise representative functionality and recovery paths, monitor for regressions, and document exceptions.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
Use the exact supported release stream and repository. Test dependencies, clusters, integrations, and rollback before broad deployment; a CVSS rating or reachable feature is not evidence of exploitation.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
