  - Rodauth before 2.46.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the webauthn_login route that
    allows logged-in users to authenticate as any other account. Attackers can exploit improper account
    resolution logic that falls back to session account identifiers instead of validating the credential
    binding to complete authentication as arbitrary users. (CVE-2026-82466)
