Security Advisories: GSA_kwCzR0hTQS03OTY4LWg0bTQtZ2htOc4AAxpr

No protection against brute-force attacks on login page

Impact

Previous versions of Kiwi TCMS do not impose rate limits which makes it easier to attempt brute-force attacks against the login page.

Patches

Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later.

Workarounds

Users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS. For example nginx.
