Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EduSec versions through 4.2.6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to potentially obtain access via a brute-force approach due to the lack of restriction on sending a series of LoginForm[username] and LoginForm[password] parameters to the "index.php?r=site/login" endpoint.

Recommendations For versions through 4.2.6, restrict access to the "index.php?r=site/login" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation, and consider implementing rate limiting on the LoginForm[username] and LoginForm[password] parameters.
