CVE-2023-25156
No protection against brute-force attacks on login page
Severity by source
Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by NVD. Rated lower by GHSA (high).
Description
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.
