DoraCMS v2.1.8 was discovered to re-use the same code for verification of valid usernames and passwords. This vulnerability allows attackers to gain access to the application via a bruteforce attack.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.
