Denial of Service in CISA Thorium account verification email handling
CVE-2025-35436 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in CISA Thorium. According to the provided content, Thorium uses Rust's .unwrap() when handling errors related to account verification email messages. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger a crash by supplying a specially crafted email address or crafted response during the account verification email handling flow. The vulnerable condition appears to stem from improper handling of an error path that can cause a panic when .unwrap() is invoked on an unexpected error or invalid value. The issue was fixed in commit 6a65a27.
