CVE-2026-93346: Wazuh API login throttling race condition

CVE-2026-93346 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-13

Wazuh is a security management and monitoring platform used to protect enterprise networks. A timing gap in the API's login attempt throttling allows attackers to bypass password attempt limits by flooding the login endpoint with concurrent requests, enabling unlimited password guessing attacks on administrator and service accounts.

Technologies: Wazuh Manager. Vendors: Wazuh.

Technical details

A time-of-check/time-of-use race condition exists between the CheckBlockedIP middleware (which checks if an IP is blocked at request start) and the prevent_bruteforce_attack error handler (which increments the failure counter only after credential validation completes). Because credential validation is asynchronous and yields the event loop, a burst of concurrent login requests all pass the block check before any failures are recorded, defeating the max_login_attempts throttle. An attacker can evaluate an arbitrary number of password guesses in a single concurrent burst, limited only by request concurrency rather than the configured attempt threshold.
