Overview

pgadmin4 is a PostgreSQL Tools

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Brute Force due to improper enforcement of account lockout in the login. An attacker can bypass account lockout protections and perform unlimited password-guessing attempts by submitting valid credentials directly to the /login endpoint, regardless of any lockout triggered via /authenticate/login.

Note: This is only exploitable if the account uses the INTERNAL authentication source.
