Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Conext ComBox (All Versions)

Description The issue is related to insufficient restriction of excessive authentication attempts, which could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions using a brute force attack. This is due to the lack of a rate limit mechanism on the admin authentication form, potentially enabling brute force attacks to take over the admin account.

Recommendations As a temporary workaround, consider implementing a rate limit mechanism on the admin authentication form to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to the admin account until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
