Upgrade sorcery to version 0.15.0 or higher.
Overview
sorcery is a package that provides common authentication needs such as signing in/out, activating by email and resetting password.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. There is a brute force vulnerability when using password authentication via Sorcery. The brute force protection submodule will prevent a brute force attack for the defined lockout period, but once expired, protection will not be re-enabled until a user or malicious actor logs in successfully. This does not affect users that do not use the built-in brute force protection submodule, nor users that use permanent account lockout.
