Summary

Fake DeviceToken Bypasses Shared Auth Rate Limiting

Current Maintainer Triage

  • Status: narrow
  • Normalized severity: low
  • Assessment: Real in shipped mixed WS auth flow, but practical risk is mostly weak shared-password deployments since strong shared tokens remain non-bruteforceable.
