A login attempt restriction bypass vulnerability exists in the checkLoginAttempts functionality of WWBN AVideo dev master commit 15fed957fb. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to captcha bypass, which can be abused by an attacker to brute force user credentials. An attacker can send a series of HTTP requests to trigger this vulnerability.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
