CVE-2025-24806Network attack vector

Increased password guessing via identifier-specific regulation keys

Published Feb 19, 2025 · Updated Feb 19, 2025

Improper login-attempt restriction in Authelia before 4.38.19 allows remote authenticated users to double password guesses. The first-factor handler keyed regulation checks and attempt records by the submitted username or email instead of resolving both forms to the account username. Exploitation requires email login, weak passwords, and reduced regulation protection; default bans and multifactor authentication substantially limit account compromise.
