8.7
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Summary
PasswordPusher before 2.9.2 contains a brute-force vulnerability in the POST /p/:token/access endpoint that lacks route-specific rate limiting and per-push lockout mechanisms. Attackers who know a push token can systematically guess passphrases at 120 attempts per minute without triggering any push-level defense, making short or dictionary-derived passphrases practically recoverable within hours or days.
