CVE-2023-25156 (GCVE-0-2023-25156)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-02-15 00:00 – Updated: 2025-03-10 21:11

Title

Kiwi TCMS has no protection against brute-force attacks on login page

Summary

Kiwi TCMS, an open source test management system, does not impose rate limits in versions prior to 12.0. This makes it easier to attempt brute-force attacks against the login page. Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later to receive a patch. As a workaround, users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS.

Severity
