Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts (CWE-307). The login lockout mechanism relies on cookie-based tracking of failed attempts (login_count and login_timeout cookies); an attacker can bypass this by simply omitting these cookies from requests, resetting the lockout counter. This is a network-based attack requiring no authentication or user interaction.
