CVE-2025-53968
CWE-307Published: January 22, 2026· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
This vulnerability arises because there are no limitations on the number
of authentication attempts a user can make. An attacker can exploit
this weakness by continuously sending authentication requests, leading
to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. This can overwhelm the
authentication system, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users and
potentially causing service disruption. This can also allow attackers to
conduct brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-53968 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.5.
