Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts, where the product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame. In OctoPrint, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

OctoPrint 1.7.3 and prior does not have rate limiting on the login page, making it possible for attackers to attempt brute force attacks. The severity of this issue is limited by OctoPrint normally running in a restricted LAN. The `devel` and `maintenance` branches of the repository have a fix that limits the rate of failed login attempts.
