This makes it easier to attempt brute-force attacks against the login page. Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later to receive a patch. As a workaround, users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS.","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","CWE-770"],"references":["https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/commit/0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f","https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/security/advisories/GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9","https://huntr.dev/bounties/2b1a9be9-45e9-490b-8de0-26a492e79795/","https://kiwitcms.org/blog/kiwi-tcms-team/2023/02/15/kiwi-tcms-120/","https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/commit/0ed213fa0ddb7a6dc77e3c3b99e8fc90ccdaf46f"],"products":["kiwitcms:kiwi_tcms"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:37:38.595364862+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-25156","score":0.0091,"percentile":0.59982,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-7968-h4m4-ghm9","summary":"No protection against brute-force attacks on login page","modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:56.831891986Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"kiwitcms","purl":"pkg:pypi/kiwitcms","ranges":["<12.0"],"fixed":["12.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-835","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-835","summary":"No protection against brute-force attacks on login page","modified":"2026-07-07T11:45:41.894279270Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"kiwitcms","purl":"pkg:pypi/kiwitcms","ranges":["<12.0"],"fixed":["12.0"]}]}],"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).
