CVE-2026-108163 Details
Description
Pingvin Share X before 1.22.0 contains an ineffective rate limiting vulnerability because throttler TTL values specified in seconds are interpreted as milliseconds. Unauthenticated attackers can send effectively unthrottled requests to /api/auth/signIn, /api/auth/signIn/totp and /api/auth/resetPassword to brute-force passwords and TOTP codes.
A rate limiting vulnerability has been identified in Pingvin Share X versions prior to 1.22.0. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to send unthrottled requests to several authentication and account management endpoints, including '/api/auth/signIn', '/api/auth/signIn/totp', and '/api/auth/resetPassword'. The issue arises from a misconfiguration in the application's rate limiting implementation, where time-to-live (TTL) values are incorrectly interpreted, allowing for brute-force attacks on passwords and TOTP codes.
Users are advised to update Pingvin Share X to version 1.22.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. For those unable to upgrade immediately, it is recommended to configure the reverse proxy to strip or overwrite 'X-Forwarded-For' headers before forwarding requests to the application.
