MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.53%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

All versions of the package github.com/greenpau/caddy-security are vulnerable to Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts via the two-factor authentication (2FA). Although the application blocks the user after several failed attempts to provide 2FA codes, attackers can bypass this blocking mechanism by automating the application’s full multistep 2FA process.
