Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts #87

@melbinkm

Description

@melbinkm

The software does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within in a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.

Tested the login function with 100+ wrong passwords and found that there is no restriction implemented to control excessive authentication attempts. POST request with wrong credentials results in 200 and with correct credentials in a 302 response from the server.
