CVE-2023-25156
February 15, 2023
Kiwi TCMS, an open source test management system, does not impose rate limits in versions prior to 12.0. This makes it easier to attempt brute-force attacks against the login page. Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later to receive a patch. As a workaround, users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS.
Affected Packages
kiwitcms (PYTHON):
Affected version(s) >=6.2.1 <12.0
Fix Suggestion:
Update to version 12.0
