CVE-2025-54791 — OMERO.web provides a web based client and plugin infrastructure
OMERO.web provides a web based client and plugin infrastructure. Prior to version 5.29.2, if an error occurred when resetting a user's password using the Forgot Password option in OMERO.web, the error message displayed on the Web page can disclose information about the user. This issue has been patched in version 5.29.2. A workaround involves disabling the Forgot password option in OMERO.web using the omero.web.show_forgot_password configuration property.

Information disclosure and sensitive data exposure
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace sensitive data through responses, errors, logs, metrics, traces, caches, exports, files, backups, and client bundles.
- Identify affected subjects, tenants, retention windows, access controls, and downstream copies without opening unnecessary sensitive records.
- Review metadata, timing, status, length, and existence signals as well as direct content disclosure.
Remediate safely
- Minimize collection and output, apply field-level authorization and redaction at a centralized boundary, and return generic external errors.
- Remove secrets and sensitive data from logs, artifacts, URLs, caches, and client-side bundles; rotate credentials that may have been exposed.
- Update the affected component and add synthetic-data tests for response, error, observability, and export paths.
