Overview
apostrophe is a content management system (CMS) for Node.js. It supports in-context editing, schema-driven content types, flexible widgets and a great deal more. This module contains everything necessary to build a website with ApostropheCMS.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Brute Force via the self-service password-change endpoint, which verifies the current password but does not use the login module’s failed-attempt counter, throttle, delay, or lockout mechanism. This allows an attacker with a valid authenticated session to submit repeated guesses for the current password without receiving a lockout or throttle response.
