Affected packages

• npm express-brute: <= 1.0.1 (no fix yet)

Description

All versions of `express-brute` are vulnerable to Rate Limiting Bypass. Concurrent requests may lead to race conditions that cause the package to incorrectly count requests.

Consider using an alternative module until a fix is made available.
