Antes de las versiones 7.8.6, 7.9.8, 7.10.7, 7.11.4, 7.12.4, 7.13.3 y 8.0.0, existe una vulnerabilidad cr\u00edtica de omisi\u00f3n de autenticaci\u00f3n en el servicio de cuentas de Rocket.Chat utilizado en el microservicio ddp-streamer que permite a un atacante iniciar sesi\u00f3n en el servicio como cualquier usuario con una contrase\u00f1a establecida, utilizando cualquier contrase\u00f1a arbitraria. La vulnerabilidad se deriva de la ausencia de la palabra clave await al llamar a una funci\u00f3n as\u00edncrona de validaci\u00f3n de contrase\u00f1a, lo que provoca que se eval\u00fae un objeto Promise (que siempre es truthy) en lugar del resultado de validaci\u00f3n booleano real. Esto puede llevar a la toma de control de la cuenta de cualquier usuario cuyo nombre de usuario sea conocido o adivinable. Este problema ha sido parcheado en las versiones 7.8.6, 7.9.8, 7.10.7, 7.11.4, 7.12.4, 7.13.3 y 8.0.0."

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
