CVE-2026-73306 Budibase CVE debrief
CVE-2026-73306 Budibase Authentication Enumeration and Temporary Lockout. Budibase, an open-source low-code platform, had an authentication issue allowing user enumeration and temporary account lockout. The failure counter for login attempts was only incremented for existing users, enabling an unauthenticated attacker to compare responses and enumerate valid email addresses. Valid accounts could also be temporarily locked. Budibase administrators should assess exposure, verify configurations, and apply version 3.39.25 or later to fix the issue.
