Unlimited login attempts via spoofed client IP
Published Jan 5, 2026 · Updated Jan 5, 2026
Rate-limit bypass in Coolify 4.0.0-beta.434 through 4.0.0-beta.435 allows remote attackers to make unlimited login attempts. The /login endpoint trusts the client-supplied X-Forwarded-For value as its throttle key, so rotating that header assigns each request a fresh five-attempt bucket. Network access and an anonymous CSRF token and session cookie from GET /login are sufficient to brute-force user and administrator credentials; account takeover still requires finding valid credentials.
