CVE-2026-61458 PUBLISHED

PasswordPusher < 2.9.2 Passphrase Brute-Force via Unthrottled Endpoint

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 09.07.2026 Published: 13.07.2026 Updated: 14.07.2026

PasswordPusher before 2.9.2 contains a brute-force vulnerability in the POST /p/:token/access endpoint that lacks route-specific rate limiting and per-push lockout mechanisms. Attackers who know a push token can systematically guess passphrases at 120 attempts per minute without triggering any push-level defense, making short or dictionary-derived passphrases practically recoverable within hours or days.
