Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
EduSec versions through 4.2.6
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to potentially obtain access via a brute-force approach due to the lack of restriction on sending a series of
LoginForm[username] and LoginForm[password] parameters to the "index.php?r=site/login" endpoint.Recommendations
For versions through 4.2.6, restrict access to the "index.php?r=site/login" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation, and consider implementing rate limiting on the
LoginForm[username] and LoginForm[password] parameters. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
