DescriptionCVE.org

PasswordPusher before 2.9.2 contains a brute-force vulnerability in the POST /p/:token/access endpoint that lacks route-specific rate limiting and per-push lockout mechanisms. Attackers who know a push token can systematically guess passphrases at 120 attempts per minute without triggering any push-level defense, making short or dictionary-derived passphrases practically recoverable within hours or days.

AnalysisAI

Passphrase brute-force in PasswordPusher before 2.9.2 lets remote attackers who possess a push token recover the passphrase protecting a shared secret by hammering the POST /p/:token/access endpoint. Because that route has no per-route rate limiting and no per-push lockout, an attacker can sustain roughly 120 guesses per minute, making short or dictionary-based passphrases recoverable within hours to days. Reported by VulnCheck; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not listed in CISA KEV.
