CVE ID :CVE-2026-71205
Published : Aug. 5, 2026, 8:16 a.m. | 2 hours, 39 minutes ago
Description :changedetection.io's /login route checks the submitted password against a single PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 hash with no per-IP or per-session rate limiting, failed-attempt counter, or lockout (no rate-limiting library is present in requirements.txt). Because the entire application is protected by one shared password with no per-user accounts, a successful brute-force guess grants full administrative access, including the ability to view/regenerate the API token.
Severity: 6.5 | MEDIUM
