    CVE-2023-25156

    Published: 15 Feb 2023Last Modified: 21 Oct 2026

    Summary: Kiwi TCMS has no protection against brute-force attacks on login page

    Details: Kiwi TCMS, an open source test management system, does not impose rate limits in versions prior to 12.0. 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.
