CVE-2026-22114: HTTP basic authentication missing rate limiting

CVE-2026-22114 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-30

A service using HTTP basic authentication has no limit on login attempts or enforced delays between attempts, allowing attackers to brute-force credentials. Combined with a known default service password, this makes the authentication system vulnerable to rapid credential guessing attacks that bypass normal account protection mechanisms.
