{"id":"CVE-2023-25156","summary":"Kiwi TCMS has no protection against brute-force attacks on login page","details":"Kiwi TCMS, an open source test management system, does not impose rate limits in versions prior to 12.0. This makes it easier to attempt brute-force attacks against the login page. Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later to receive a patch. As a workaround, users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS.","aliases":["GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9","PYSEC-2026-835"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:43.546368186Z","published":"2023-02-15T00:00:00Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-770"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/25xxx/CVE-2023-25156.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://huntr.dev/bounties/2b1a9be9-45e9-490b-8de0-26a492e79795/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/25xxx/CVE-2023-25156.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/security/advisories/GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-25156"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/commit/0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://kiwitcms.org/blog/kiwi-tcms-team/2023/02/15/kiwi-tcms-120/"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/kiwi","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"37a74093e786a7eb156dc6cf46ebd86e448dc9b6"},{"fixed":"0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"12.0"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:kiwitcms:kiwi_tcms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"}}],"versions":["12.0","v11.7","v11.6","v11.5","v11.4","v11.3","v11.2","v11.1","v11.0","v10.5","v10.4","v10.3","v10.2","v10.1","v10.0","v9.0.1","v9.0","v8.9","v8.8","v8.7","v8.6.1","v8.6","v8.5","v8.4","v8.3","v8.2","v8.1","v8.0","v7.3","v7.2.1","v7.2","v7.1","v7.0","v6.11","v6.10","v6.9","v6.8","v6.7","v6.6","tcms-api-5.3","v6.5.3","v6.5.2","v6.5.1","tcms-api-5.2","tcms-api-5.1","v6.4","v6.3","v6.2.1","v6.2","v6.1.1","v6.1","v6.0.1","v6.0","v5.3.1","v5.3","v5.2","v5.1","v5.0","tcms-api-5.0","v4.2","tcms-api-4.2","v4.1.4","v4.1.3","v4.1.2","v4.1.1","v4.1.0","v4.0.0","tcms-api-4.0.0","v3.50","tcms-api-1.5.1","v3.49","tcms-api-1.5.0","tcms-api-1.4.0","v3.48","v3.44","v3.41","v3.39","v3.38","v3.37","v3.33","v3.32","v3.30","v3.28","v3.26","v3.23","v3.22","v3.21.2","v3.21.1","v3.8.18.21","v3.8.18"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-25156.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
