An improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in Auto block in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 7.2.1-69057-10, 7.2.2-72806-7 and 7.3.2-86009-2 allows remote attackers to read limited files via brute-force attacks.

CVE-2026-936503.7 LOW—
———A vulnerability was determined in Saleor up to 3.20.118/3.21.54/3.22.47/3.23.14. This vulnerability affects the function get_client_ip of the file saleor/account/throttling.py. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack can be executed remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The projects own issue #19203 internal ticket admits "IP can be spoofed in most deployments" and that its REAL_IP_ENVIRON-type setting bypasses get_client_ip; fix (right-to-left RFC 7239 hop selection) proposed but still unmerged. The vendor explains within an email, that "[t]his is not a vulnerability, this is working at intended, Saleor expects XFF to be configured properly".9hCVE-2026-565926.5 MED17.3%
——5HCL BigFix Service Management is affected by an Improper Authentication validation vulnerability related to inadequate account lockouts, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute sustained brute-force attacks against the login interface, resulting in unauthorized system access.16hCVE-2026-925836.5 MED15.0%
——4AVideo through 29.0 contains a race condition in the enforceRateLimit() function that fails to atomically increment rate limit counters, allowing attackers to bypass all rate limits including login brute-force protection by issuing concurrent requests. Attackers can submit parallel credential attempts to exceed the documented 30-attempts-per-5-minutes login limit by an arbitrary factor determined only by their connection concurrency.2dCVE-2026-919737.5 HIG47.8%
——14Vikunja before 2.6.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in CalDAV BasicAuth endpoints that lack rate limiting protection. Remote unauthenticated attackers can issue unbounded credential-guessing requests against /dav, /.well-known, and /feeds routes to bypass the instance's anti-brute-force controls and compromise password-only accounts.2dCVE-2026-919727.5 HIG41.7%
——13Vikunja versions before 2.6.0 fail to apply rate limiting to /api/v2 public authentication endpoints including login, register, password-reset, and OAuth token routes. Remote unauthenticated attackers can perform unbounded credential guessing, account enumeration, and password-reset flooding attacks without throttling restrictions.2dCVE-2026-92082—9.1%
——3By default, Payara Server does not limit the number of failed login attempts, which can leave it vulnerable to brute force login attacks. To mitigate this, Payara Server includes built-in automatic attack protection.
