Overview

vantage6-server is a Vantage6 server

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Brute Force due to a lack of rate limiting on the password change functionality. An attacker who has gained access to an authenticated session can attempt to brute-force the user's password. They can call the change password route an unlimited number of times, allowing them to systematically guess passwords until they find the correct one and compromise the account.
