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 References https://github.com/vantage6/vantage6/issues/59 For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: • Email us at [email protected]
