Executive Summary

CVE-2026-105237 is an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in the linlinjava litemall project up to version 1.8.0. The issue is in the admin login endpoint (/admin/auth/login) where CAPTCHA verification has been disabled and no rate limiting or account lockout mechanisms are in place. This allows attackers to perform brute-force attacks without restrictions.

Detection Guidance

Monitor the /admin/auth/login endpoint for excessive authentication attempts. Check logs for repeated failed login attempts without delays or lockouts. Use tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP to test for brute-force vulnerabilities by sending multiple login requests.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to gain unauthorized access to the admin backend by guessing credentials, especially since default admin credentials (e.g., admin123/admin123) are present in the database. Once accessed, they could perform malicious actions like SQL injection or file deletion.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability may violate compliance requirements under GDPR and HIPAA due to insufficient authentication controls. GDPR emphasizes data protection and security, while HIPAA mandates safeguards against unauthorized access. The lack of rate limiting, CAPTCHA, and account lockout mechanisms increases the risk of brute-force attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized admin access and data breaches.

Mitigation Strategies

Enable rate limiting and CAPTCHA verification on the /admin/auth/login endpoint. Implement account lockout after repeated failed attempts. Remove default admin credentials (e.g., admin123/admin123) from the database. Restrict access to the admin interface via IP whitelisting or VPN.
