GHSA-36gx-9q6h-g429MediumCVSS 6.5
vantage6 vulnerable to Observable Response Discrepancy
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Impact
We are incorporating the password policies listed in https://github.com/vantage6/vantage6/issues/59. One measure is that we don't let the user know in case of wrong username/password combination if the username actually exists, to prevent that bots can guess usernames. However, if a wrong password is entered a number of times, the user account is blocked temporarily. This way you could still find out which usernames exist.
Patches
Update to 3.8.0+
Workarounds
No
