| RansomLook contains multiple weaknesses in its authentication endpoint that allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to enumerate valid usernames, perform unrestricted password-guessing attacks, and potentially exhaust application worker resources.
For local authentication, the login implementation previously checked whether a submitted username existed before invoking the password hash verification function. Requests containing a nonexistent username therefore returned significantly faster than requests for valid accounts, for which the computationally expensive password verification routine was executed. A remote attacker could measure these response-time differences to determine which usernames correspond to valid RansomLook accounts.
In addition, the /login endpoint did not restrict the number or frequency of failed authentication attempts. An attacker could consequently perform password brute-force, dictionary, password-spraying, or credential-stuffing attacks against known accounts without server-side throttling. For valid usernames, each authentication attempt also invokes the password key-derivation function, which consumes a significant amount of CPU time. A sufficiently high rate of login attempts could therefore occupy the application's synchronous Gunicorn workers and cause a denial of service affecting the entire application.
The issue has been addressed by always performing password verification using a randomly generated dummy password hash when the supplied username does not exist, eliminating the username-dependent timing discrepancy. Failed authentication attempts are additionally rate-limited per client IP address using Valkey/Redis, with five failed attempts within five minutes resulting in a one-hour block. The reverse-proxy configuration was also updated so that the application derives the client address from a trusted X-Forwarded-For value that cannot be overridden by a client-supplied header. |
| HCL Hive is affected by a missing rate limit which could allow an attacker unauthorized access via brute-force or credential stuffing attacks, or cause a denial of service. |
| SiYuan versions before 3.7.4 contain an unthrottled brute-force vulnerability in the Publish Service Basic Auth implementation (PublishServiceTransport.RoundTrip() in kernel/server/proxy/publish.go). The Publish Service runs on a separate, unauthenticated-by-default listener (default TCP port 6808) and gates named publish-viewer accounts (Conf.Publish.Auth.Accounts) with Basic Auth that has no rate limiting, per-account lockout, or backoff. Unauthenticated remote attackers can submit unlimited password guesses against named accounts to gain access to published notes/notebooks. |
| Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable typing test. In 26.26.0 and earlier, the backend rate-limit key generator in backend/src/middlewares/rate-limit.ts uses client-controlled cf-connecting-ip and x-forwarded-for headers before the trust-proxy-derived req.ip value. An unauthenticated attacker can rotate either header to create a new bucket for each request, bypassing rootRateLimiter, badAuthRateLimiter, getKey(), and the getKeyWithUid() fallback used by public endpoints. This permits repeated POST /users/forgotPasswordEmail and verificationEmail requests, mail bombing registered users, consuming Firebase or SMTP quota, evading brute-force protection, and enabling resource exhaustion. Exploitability of cf-connecting-ip depends on deployment topology, but x-forwarded-for and direct-to-origin paths remain affected when those values are not overwritten by a trusted proxy. No fixed version is available as of this review. |
| phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 contains a brute-force vulnerability in the two-factor authentication step where the failure counter is session-scoped and reset on each successful password re-authentication. Attackers with a valid password can bypass the five-attempt limit by obtaining a fresh session cookie and repeatedly re-authenticating to reset the counter, enabling unbounded TOTP code guessing. |
| Plainpad through 1.1.1, fixed in commit d3823fc, contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to send unbounded login requests to the POST /v1/sessions endpoint due to dead code in App\Http\Kernel.php that is never instantiated under the Laravel 11+ skeleton, leaving the API throttle configuration unattached to any route. Attackers can exploit this by sending unlimited credential attempts with no lockout or CAPTCHA enforcement, and additionally trigger CPU exhaustion by forcing repeated bcrypt comparisons on each request. |
| A vulnerability was found in karakeep-app karakeep up to 0.32.0. The affected element is the function authorize of the file apps/web/server/auth.ts of the component Login Endpoint. The manipulation results in improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack may be performed from remote. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is described as difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 0.33.0 is sufficient to fix this issue. The patch is identified as f7d042971d0d2bcc7119654830cf1eb93eabbf24. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component. |
| SiYuan before 3.7.4 contains an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in the authFilePublishAccess endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to brute-force per-notebook publish passwords. Attackers can submit unbounded password guesses without rate limiting or CAPTCHA to gain access to password-protected published notebooks. |
| SiYuan kernel versions before 3.7.4 contain an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in the CheckAuth() middleware. The middleware accepts the API token (Conf.Api.Token) via an Authorization header (Token/Bearer) or a ?token= query parameter, and neither path is protected by the application's CAPTCHA/lockout mechanism (NeedCaptcha/WrongAuthCount). As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker can perform unlimited automated guesses of the API token, particularly when a short or weak custom token has been configured, and upon success gains full RoleAdministrator access enabling arbitrary file operations and SQL queries. |
| UnixAuth lacks brute-force protection in Apache Ranger versions <= 2.8.0.
Note: UnixAuth is NOT a recommended option for production deployments.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.9.0, which fixes this issue. |
| SiYuan before v3.7.4 improperly restricts excessive authentication attempts in the CheckAuth() middleware. The HTTP Basic Authentication branch, which guards nearly the entire /api/* surface, accepts the workspace access code (Conf.AccessAuthCode) as the Basic Auth password but never consults the CAPTCHA/lockout gate or increments the failure counter used by the cookie/session login path. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to brute-force the admin access code with unlimited automated requests and obtain full RoleAdministrator access to the kernel. A secondary weakness exists because the access code is compared using a non-constant-time string comparison. |
| A vulnerability was detected in opensourcepos Open Source Point of Sale up to 3.4.2. This affects the function Login::index of the file app/Config/Filters.php of the component Login Endpoint. The manipulation results in improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack may be launched remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet. |
| A vulnerability was found in VictoriaMetrics up to 1.146.0. Impacted is the function requestHandler of the file app/vmauth/main.go of the component VMAuth Authentication Endpoint. Performing a manipulation results in improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is considered difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 1.147.0 is recommended to address this issue. The patch is named 119ba0fb5be8024d50c5ba946599b2e69e8803ea. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. |
| A vulnerability has been found in mangroup dtale up to 3.22.0. This issue affects the function Login of the file dtale/auth.py of the component Login Endpoint. Such manipulation leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack can be executed remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is assessed as difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet. |
| HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where certain endpoints lack sufficient anti-automation controls. Automated or scripted requests may be submitted without adequate rate limiting or challenge mechanisms, potentially resulting in unintended behavior or security impact under certain conditions. |
| The Mira cloud authentication endpoints do not enforce per-account rate limiting, per-IP throttling, or account lockout after repeated failed login attempts. An attacker can use brute-force methods to obtain gain access to user accounts. |
| Microsoft Exchange Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability |
| Typemill's login endpoint (POST /tm/login, ControllerWebAuth::login) performs no rate-limiting, failed-attempt counting, or account lockout when captcha is disabled, which is the default configuration. An unauthenticated attacker can send unlimited password-guessing requests against any account, including administrators, with no throttling. |
| changedetection.io's /login route checks the submitted password against a single PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 hash with no per-IP or per-session rate limiting, failed-attempt counter, or lockout (no rate-limiting library is present in requirements.txt). |
| Nexxt Solutions Nebula 300+ firmware through version 12.01.01.37 does not implement rate limiting or account lockout mechanisms on authentication interfaces. An attacker can perform unlimited authentication attempts against endpoints that rely on credential validation, enabling brute-force attacks to guess administrative credentials without restriction. |
