Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts

A security vulnerability has been detected in Beetel 777VR1 up to 01.00.09/01.00.09_55. This issue affects some unknown processing of the component UART Interface. The manipulation leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. It is possible to launch the attack on the physical device. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is assessed as difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.Show less

Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts, Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password vulnerability in Birebirsoft Software and Technology Solutions Sufirmam allows Brute Force, Password Recovery Exploitation. This issue affects Sufirmam: through 23012026. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.Show less

This vulnerability arises because there are no limitations on the number of authentication attempts a user can make. An attacker can exploit this weakness by continuously sending authentication requests, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. This can overwhelm the authentication system, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users and potentially causing service disruption. This can also allow attackers to conduct brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.Show less

Dell PowerScale OneFS versions prior to 9.13.0.0 contains an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access.Show less

OpenProject is an open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to version 16.6.2, OpenProject’s unauthenticated password-change endpoint (/account/change_password) was not protected by the same brute-force safeguards that apply to the normal login form. In affected versions, an attacker who can guess or enumerate user IDs can send unlimited password-change requests for a given account without triggering lockout or other rate-limiting controls. This allows automated password-guessing (e.g., with wordlists of common passwords) against valid accounts. Successful guessing results in full account compromise for the targeted user and, depending on that user’s role, can lead to further privilege escalation inside the application. This issue has been patched in version 16.6.2. Those who are unable to upgrade may apply the patch manually.Show less

An issue in GL Inet GL.Inet AX1800 Version 4.6.4 & 4.6.8 are vulnerable. GL.Inet AX1800 Version 4.6.4 & 4.6.8 in the GL.iNet custom opkg wrapper script located at /usr/libexec/opkg-call. The script is executed with root privileges when triggered via the LuCI web interface or authenticated API calls to manage packages. The vulnerable code uses shell redirection to create a lock file in the world-writable /tmp directory.Show less

The LuCI web interface on Gl Inet GL.Inet AX1800 Version 4.6.4 & 4.6.8 are vulnerable. Fix available in version 4.8.2 GL.Inet AX1800 Version 4.6.4 & 4.6.8 lacks rate limiting or account lockout mechanisms on the authentication endpoint (`/cgi-bin/luci`). An unauthenticated attacker on the local network can perform unlimited password attempts against the admin interface.Show less

Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in Restajet Information Technologies Inc. Online Food Delivery System allows Password Recovery Exploitation. This issue affects Online Food Delivery System: through 19122025. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.Show less

Misskey is an open source, federated social media platform. Attackers who use an untrusted reverse proxy or not using a reverse proxy at all can bypass IP rate limiting by adding a forged X-Forwarded-For header. Starting with version 2025.9.1, an option (`trustProxy`) has been added in config file to prevent this from happening. However, it is initialized with an insecure default value before version 2025.12.0-alpha.2, making it still vulnerable if the configuration is not set correctly. This is patched in v2025.12.0-alpha.2 by flipping default value of `trustProxy` to `false`. Users of a trusted reverse proxy who are unsure if they manually overode this value should check their config for optimal behavior. Users are running Misskey with a trusted reverse proxy should not be affected by this vulnerability. From v2025.9.1 to v2025.11.1, workaround is available. Set `trustProxy: false` in config file.Show less

WBCE CMS is a content management system. Version 1.6.4 contains a brute-force protection bypass where an attacker can indefinitely reset the counter by modifying `X-Forwarded-For` on each request, gaining unlimited password guessing attempts, effectively bypassing all brute-force protection. The application fully trusts the `X-Forwarded-For` header without validating it or restricting its usage. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.5.Show less

In affected versions, vulnerability-lookup did not track or limit failed One-Time Password (OTP) attempts during Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) verification. An attacker who already knew or guessed a valid username and password could submit an arbitrary number of OTP codes without causing the account to be locked or generating any specific alert for administrators. This lack of rate-limiting and lockout on OTP failures significantly lowers the cost of online brute-force attacks against 2FA codes and increases the risk of successful account takeover, especially if OTP entropy is reduced (e.g. short numeric codes, user reuse, or predictable tokens). Additionally, administrators had no direct visibility into accounts experiencing repeated 2FA failures, making targeted attacks harder to detect and investigate. The patch introduces a persistent failed_otp_attempts counter on user accounts, locks the user after 5 invalid OTP submissions, resets the counter on successful verification, and surfaces failed 2FA attempts in the admin user list. This enforces an account lockout policy for OTP brute-force attempts and improves monitoring capabilities for suspicious 2FA activity.This issue affects Vulnerability-Lookup: before 2.18.0.Show less

Dell CloudBoost Virtual Appliance, versions 19.13.0.0 and prior, contains an Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to unauthorized access.Show less

Medtronic CareLink Network allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform a brute force attack on an API endpoint that could be used to determine a valid password under certain circumstances. This issue affects CareLink Network: before December 4, 2025.Show less

An issue was discovered in weijiang1994 university-bbs (aka Blogin) in commit 9e06bab430bfc729f27b4284ba7570db3b11ce84 (2025-01-13). A weak verification code generation mechanism combined with missing rate limiting allows attackers to perform brute-force attacks on verification codes without authentication. Successful exploitation may result in account takeover via password reset or other authentication bypass methods.Show less

Windu CMS implements weak client-side brute-force protection by using parameter loginError. Information about attempt count or timeout is not stored on the server, which allows a malicious attacker to bypass this brute-force protection by resetting this parameter. Only version 4.1 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable. This issue was fixed in version 4.1 build 2250.Show less

CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability exists that would allow an attacker on the local network to gain access to the user account by performing an arbitrary number of authentication attempts with different credentials on the /REST/shutdownnow endpoint.Show less
