Description
SOGo before 5.12.13 contains a missing rate limiting vulnerability in its web login TOTP verification that allows attackers who already possess a victim's password to brute-force the second-factor code without triggering any lockout. Attackers can send repeated POST requests to /SOGo/connect with wrong verification codes at high speed since failed TOTP attempts never increment the failed-login counter and SOGoMaximumFailedLoginCount does not apply, enabling indefinite guessing across 30-second code windows to bypass two-factor authentication.
