The brute force protection submodule will prevent a brute force attack for the defined lockout period, but once expired, protection will not be re-enabled until a user or malicious actor logs in successfully. This does not affect users that do not use the built-in brute force protection submodule, nor users that use permanent account lockout. This has been patched in 0.15.0.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-307"],"references":["https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/commit/0f116d223826895a73b12492f17486e5d54ab7a7","https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/issues/231","https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/pull/235","https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/security/advisories/GHSA-jc8m-cxhj-668x","https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/commit/0f116d223826895a73b12492f17486e5d54ab7a7"],"products":["sorcery_project:sorcery"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:04:18.695612450+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2020-11052","score":0.01598,"percentile":0.75773,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-jc8m-cxhj-668x","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-jc8m-cxhj-668x","summary":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in Sorcery","modified":"2026-07-08T06:00:06.653500011Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","name":"sorcery","purl":"pkg:gem/sorcery","ranges":["<0.15.0"],"fixed":["0.15.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
