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.
The application does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it possible for an attacker to guess user credentials.
In ExtremeGuest Essentials before 25.5.0, captive-portal may permit unauthorized access via manual brute-force procedure. Under certain ExtremeGuest Essentials captive-portal SSID configurations, repeated manual login attempts may allow an unauthenticated device to be marked as authenticated and obtain network access. Client360 logs may display the client MAC as the username despite no MAC-authentication being enabled.
A vulnerability was found in mtons mblog up to 3.5.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /settings/password. The manipulation leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack may be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
RAGFlow through 0.18.1 allows account takeover because it is possible to conduct successful brute-force attacks against email verification codes to perform arbitrary account registration, login, and password reset. Codes are six digits and there is no rate limiting.
