{"id":"CVE-2023-25156","aliases":["GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9","PYSEC-2026-835"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-25156","summary":"Kiwi TCMS has no protection against brute-force attacks on login page","details":"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.","published":"2023-02-15T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:48:51.367743103Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"kiwitcms","fixedVersion":"12.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/commit/0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f","label":"kiwitcms/Kiwi@0ed213f"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://huntr.dev/bounties/2b1a9be9-45e9-490b-8de0-26a492e79795/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/25xxx/CVE-2023-25156.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/security/advisories/GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-25156"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/commit/0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://kiwitcms.org/blog/kiwi-tcms-team/2023/02/15/kiwi-tcms-120/"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:48:51.367743103Z"}}
