CVE-2026-108163: Pingvin Share X ineffective rate limiting in authentication

CVE-2026-108163 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-10

Pingvin Share X is a self-hosted file sharing platform that uses rate limiting to protect authentication endpoints. A unit conversion bug causes throttler timeout values to be interpreted in milliseconds instead of seconds, making the rate limiting ineffective. Unauthenticated attackers can now brute-force passwords and TOTP codes on the sign-in and password reset endpoints.

How to fix

Fixed in: 1.22.0

Technical details

The rate limiter on /api/auth/signIn, /api/auth/signIn/totp, and /api/auth/resetPassword endpoints uses a Throttle decorator with TTL values specified in seconds, but the throttler library interprets them as milliseconds, resulting in a 1000x shorter blocking window. This allows unauthenticated attackers to send effectively unthrottled brute-force requests without authentication requirements. The fix updates the TTL values to the correct millisecond scale.
