Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Windmill version 1.380.0
Description:
A vulnerability exists in the HTTP Request Handler component, affecting an unknown function of the file backend/windmill-api/src/users.rs. This issue leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, allowing remote attacks. The complexity of an attack is rather high, and the exploitability is difficult.
