CVE-2026-108580
AniWorld Downloader before 5.3.0 contains an improper restriction of authentication attempts vulnerability in the WebUI /login POST handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to guess passwords without throttling.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
