Unauthorized account access via unrestricted password guessing
Published Sep 12, 2023 · Updated Sep 26, 2024
Improper restriction of login attempts in OpenCart CMS 4.0.2.2 allows remote attackers to gain account access by guessing passwords. The login page repeatedly evaluates attacker-controlled password submissions without enforcing an attempt limit. No authentication or user interaction is required, but successful access depends on guessing a valid account password.
