CVE-2026-127131: SOGo missing rate limiting in TOTP verification

CVE-2026-127131 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.4 · Published 2026-11-12

SOGo is a groupware suite providing email, calendar, and messaging services for organizations. A missing rate-limiting vulnerability in two-factor authentication allows attackers who already know a user's password to rapidly brute-force the TOTP code and gain account access without triggering account lockout protections. This completely undermines two-factor authentication on affected systems.

Technologies: Alinto Sogo. Vendors: Alinto.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 5.12.13

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the /SOGo/connect login endpoint where failed TOTP verification attempts do not increment the failed-login counter, causing SOGoMaximumFailedLoginCount policy to never apply. An unauthenticated attacker with a valid password can send unlimited POST requests with varying TOTP codes across 30-second code windows, enabling practical brute-force attacks against the second factor. The issue is fixed in SOGo 5.12.13.

Affected products

  • Alinto SOGo before 5.12.13
