confirmation links don't expire yet. This means you can login without a password, if you find the confirmation link that created the account; works only if the frontend has not been restarted since then.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. register account
  2. click on confirmation link once
  3. click on confirmation link a second time

Expected Behavior:

The first confirmation link redirects to the settings page, the second time to click on the link redirects to index with the error message "account already exists."

Actual Behavior:

Every time you click on the confirmation link you get redirected to the settings page. Also, a second account for the same city is registered.

This is kind of nice when you forget your password, actually. because you can just press on the old link. But well, this kind of behavior should not be encouraged of course.

The problem is, it actually creates a new user when you click on the link again. we now have two ticketfrei users with the same city etc.

I'm a bit ashamed that we left a security issue open for 4 months.
