Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in ail project ail framework up to 6.8.0. Affected is an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a excessive authentication vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-307. The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

AIL did not restrict repeated failed attempts to verify a two-factor authentication (OTP) code. An attacker who had reached the 2FA verification step, such as after successfully completing the password-authentication stage, could submit an unlimited number of OTP guesses. This could enable brute-force guessing of a valid code and bypass the intended second authentication factor, resulting in unauthorized account access. The patch introduces per-user failed-OTP tracking, blocks verification after 30 failed attempts for one hour, clears the counter after a successful OTP verification, and provides administrator recovery actions to purge affected lockouts.

The weakness was shared by Stephen O as d3a394fe68fd5aeee86f3a3c91d4a0350f91e974. The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-56450 since 06/22/2026.
