CVE-2020-11052

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sorcery versions prior to 0.15.0

Description The issue is related to a brute force vulnerability when using password authentication via Sorcery. The brute force protection submodule prevents a brute force attack for the defined lockout period, but once expired, protection will not be re-enabled until a user or malicious actor logs in successfully. This does not affect users that do not use the built-in brute force protection submodule, nor users that use permanent account lockout.

Recommendations For Sorcery versions prior to 0.15.0, upgrade to version 0.15.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider monkey patching the authenticate method provided by Sorcery until a patch is available.
