CVE-2025-3556Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Admin access via unlimited login attempts

Published Apr 14, 2025 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Improper authentication-attempt restriction in ScriptAndTools eCommerce Website in PHP 3.0 allows remote attackers to brute-force admin passwords. The /admin/login.php handler accepts repeated credential submissions without counting failures, delaying retries, or locking the targeted administrator account. No prior authentication or user interaction is required; successful password guessing grants access to the administrative functions exposed by the panel.
