Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:19 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:19
VLAI
Details

An issue was discovered in /cgi-bin/luci on Teltonika RTU9XX (e.g., RUT950) R_31.04.89 before R_00.05.00.5 devices. The authentication functionality is not protected from automated tools used to make login attempts to the application. An anonymous attacker has the ability to make unlimited login attempts with an automated tool. This ability could lead to cracking a targeted user's password.

Summary
OpenClaw: Synology Chat Webhook Pre-Auth Rate-Limit Bypass Enables Brute-Force Guessing of Webhook Token
Details

Summary

Synology Chat Webhook Pre-Auth Rate-Limit Bypass Enables Brute-Force Guessing of Weak Webhook Token

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.24
  • First patched version: 2026.3.25
  • Latest published npm version at verification time: 2026.3.24

Details

Synology Chat webhook auth previously rejected invalid tokens without throttling repeated guesses, allowing brute-force attempts against weak webhook secrets. Commit 0b4d07337467f4d40a0cc1ced83d45ceaec0863c adds repeated-guess throttling before auth failure responses.

Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit 0b4d07337467f4d40a0cc1ced83d45ceaec0863c.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-07 18:30 – Updated: 2025-05-07 18:30
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Cisco IOx application hosting environment to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

This vulnerability is due to the improper handling of HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Cisco IOx application hosting environment to stop responding. The IOx process will need to be manually restarted to recover services.

Severity

GHSA-MVX9-F55C-65H5

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-01-22 00:00 – Updated: 2022-01-28 00:03
VLAI
Details

Dell EMC AppSync versions 3.9 to 4.3 contain an Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts Vulnerability that can be exploited from UI and CLI. An adjacent unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to password brute-forcing. Account takeover is possible if weak passwords are used by users.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Common protection mechanisms include:
  • Disconnecting the user after a small number of failed attempts
  • Implementing a timeout
  • Locking out a targeted account
  • Requiring a computational task on the user's part.
Mitigation MIT-4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482].
  • Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
CAPEC-16: Dictionary-based Password Attack

An attacker tries each of the words in a dictionary as passwords to gain access to the system via some user's account. If the password chosen by the user was a word within the dictionary, this attack will be successful (in the absence of other mitigations). This is a specific instance of the password brute forcing attack pattern.

Dictionary Attacks differ from similar attacks such as Password Spraying (CAPEC-565) and Credential Stuffing (CAPEC-600), since they leverage unknown username/password combinations and don't care about inducing account lockouts.

CAPEC-49: Password Brute Forcing

An adversary tries every possible value for a password until they succeed. A brute force attack, if feasible computationally, will always be successful because it will essentially go through all possible passwords given the alphabet used (lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers, symbols, etc.) and the maximum length of the password.

CAPEC-560: Use of Known Domain Credentials

An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate credentials (e.g. userID/password) to achieve authentication and to perform authorized actions under the guise of an authenticated user or service.

CAPEC-565: Password Spraying

In a Password Spraying attack, an adversary tries a small list (e.g. 3-5) of common or expected passwords, often matching the target's complexity policy, against a known list of user accounts to gain valid credentials. The adversary tries a particular password for each user account, before moving onto the next password in the list. This approach assists the adversary in remaining undetected by avoiding rapid or frequent account lockouts. The adversary may then reattempt the process with additional passwords, once enough time has passed to prevent inducing a lockout.

CAPEC-600: Credential Stuffing

An adversary tries known username/password combinations against different systems, applications, or services to gain additional authenticated access. Credential Stuffing attacks rely upon the fact that many users leverage the same username/password combination for multiple systems, applications, and services.

CAPEC-652: Use of Known Kerberos Credentials

An adversary obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate Kerberos credentials (e.g. Kerberos service account userID/password or Kerberos Tickets) with the goal of achieving authenticated access to additional systems, applications, or services within the domain.

CAPEC-653: Use of Known Operating System Credentials

An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate operating system credentials (e.g. userID/password) to achieve authentication and to perform authorized actions on the system, under the guise of an authenticated user or service. This applies to any Operating System.
