Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Brute Force in the send_email_login process. An attacker can determine valid username and password combinations by abusing the /api/two-factor/send-email-login endpoint, which acts as an oracle and is not subject to rate-limiting. This allows repeated authentication attempts without triggering brute-force protection, even for users who do not have email 2FA configured.
