CVE-2025-9004Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account access via unrestricted password attempts

Published Aug 15, 2025 · Updated Aug 18, 2025

Improper authentication throttling in Mtons Mblog 3.0 through 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to gain account access via repeated password guesses. The published record identifies /settings/password as the affected endpoint but does not disclose the handler or the missing attempt-control operation. No prior authentication or user interaction is required, but exploitation is difficult and depends on repeated network requests.
