| Impact | Despite the moderate CVSS score of 4.2, this vulnerability presents a meaningful real-world risk for Homarr deployments that rely on invite tokens as a security boundary. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) correctly reflects that exploitation requires network access, high attack complexity (timing-dependent race conditions are difficult to trigger reliably), and authenticated user status (PR:L), with limited confidentiality and integrity impact. However, the practical impact is significant: an attacker with a single legitimate invite token can circumvent registration restrictions entirely, creating an arbitrary number of accounts to escalate privileges, conduct reconnaissance, or establish persistence. The high attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the race condition's timing sensitivity, but modern concurrent request tools make this relatively achievable. No evidence of active exploitation (KEV status) or public proof-of-concept code is indicated, but the vulnerability has been documented in GitHub security advisories, reducing discovery difficulty for motivated attackers. For environments where registration invites enforce strict access controls, this is a priority remediation target despite the moderate CVSS score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a single legitimate invitation token to a Homarr instance could use a concurrent request tool or custom script to submit multiple registration requests simultaneously, all using the same token. Because the CHECK and CREATE operations complete before the DELETE operation is executed across all concurrent requests, each request passes validation and creates a user account. In practical terms, a user might intercept their invitation link, then use tools like curl or a Python script to submit 10-20 parallel registration requests within milliseconds, resulting in multiple accounts registered under different usernames but all from the single token. This enables the attacker to create numerous accounts for privilege escalation, lateral movement, or evading account-level audit logs on Homarr instances that enforce strict registration policies through single-use invites. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 06, 2026
Homarr prior to version 1.57.0 contains a race condition in the user registration endpoint that allows authenticated attackers to bypass single-use invite token restrictions and create multiple user accounts with a single token. The vulnerability stems from non-atomic database operations (CHECK, CREATE, DELETE) that can be exploited through concurrent requests, enabling unauthorized account creation on instances with restrictive registration policies. The issue is patched in version 1.57.0.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Homarr to version 1.57.0 or later, which patches the race condition by implementing atomic database transactions for the user registration flow. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should review invite token distribution practices and consider temporarily disabling invitation-based registration if alternative authentication methods are available. For instances that must remain on pre-1.57.0 versions, implement application-level rate limiting on the /api/trpc/user.register endpoint and consider adding database-level constraints to enforce single-use token semantics at the storage layer. See https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/security/advisories/GHSA-vfw3-53q9-2hp8 for additional mitigation guidance from the Homarr security team.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exploits a classic race condition (CWE-367) in Homarr's user registration flow at the /api/trpc/user.register endpoint. The application validates invite tokens and creates user accounts through three separate, non-atomic database operations: first checking token validity, then creating the user account, and finally deleting the spent token. Because these operations execute sequentially without transaction isolation, an attacker can submit multiple concurrent registration requests that all pass the validation step before any request reaches the deletion step. This allows the same invite token to satisfy validation checks for multiple accounts simultaneously. The vulnerability requires network-accessible Homarr instances with invitation-based registration enabled and affects the core authentication and account provisioning subsystem.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Homarr is an open-source dashboard. Prior to 1.57.0, the user registration endpoint (/api/trpc/user.register) is vulnerable to a race condition that allows an attacker to create multiple user accounts from a single-use invite token. The registration flow performs three sequential database operations without a transaction: CHECK, CREATE, and DELETE. Because these operations are not atomic, concurrent requests can all pass the validation step (1) before any of them reaches the deletion step (3). This allows multiple accounts to be registered using a single invite token that was intended to be single-use. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.57.0.
