{"id":"GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9","summary":"No protection against brute-force attacks on login page","details":"### Impact\nPrevious versions of Kiwi TCMS do not impose rate limits which makes it easier to attempt brute-force attacks against the login page.\n\n### Patches\nUsers should upgrade to v12.0 or later.\n\n### Workarounds\nUsers may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS. For example nginx.\n\n### References\n[Disclosed by spyata](https://huntr.dev/bounties/2b1a9be9-45e9-490b-8de0-26a492e79795/)\n","aliases":["CVE-2023-25156","PYSEC-2026-835"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:56.831891986Z","published":"2023-02-15T18:10:54Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-307"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2023-02-15T18:10:54Z","nvd_published_at":"2023-02-15T15:15:00Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","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":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/commit/0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://huntr.dev/bounties/2b1a9be9-45e9-490b-8de0-26a492e79795"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://kiwitcms.org/blog/kiwi-tcms-team/2023/02/15/kiwi-tcms-120"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kiwitcms","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/kiwitcms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"12.0"}]}],"versions":["10.0","10.1","10.2","10.3","10.3.999","10.4","10.5","11.0","11.1","11.3","11.4","11.5","11.6","11.7","6.10","6.11","6.2.1","6.3","6.4","6.5","6.5.3","6.6","6.7","6.8","6.9","7.0","7.1","7.2","7.2.1","7.3","8.0","8.1","8.1.99","8.2","8.3","8.4","8.5","8.6","8.6.1","8.7","8.8","8.9","9.0","9.999"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/02/GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9/GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9.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"}]}
