FKIE_CVE-2025-53968
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-22 23:15 - Updated: 2026-02-02 19:59
Severity ?
Summary
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.

Un atacante puede explotar esta debilidad enviando continuamente solicitudes de autenticaci\u00f3n, lo que lleva a una condici\u00f3n de denegaci\u00f3n de servicio (DoS). Esto puede sobrecargar el sistema de autenticaci\u00f3n, dej\u00e1ndolo no disponible para usuarios leg\u00edtimos y potencialmente causando interrupci\u00f3n del servicio. Esto tambi\u00e9n puede permitir a los atacantes realizar ataques de fuerza bruta para obtener acceso no autorizado."
