Tinyauth is an authentication and authorization server. Prior to 5.1.0, an unauthenticated remote attacker can send POST /api/user/login requests with 257 distinct nonexistent usernames to fill MaxLoginAttemptRecords and activate a global login lockdown. internal/controller/user_controller.go loginHandler passes each attacker-controlled identifier to internal/service/auth_service.go RecordLoginAttempt, which invokes lockdownMode after the map reaches its cap. IsAccountLocked checks that global state before validating unrelated accounts, causing valid users to receive HTTP 429 until auth.loginTimeout expires, approximately 300 seconds by default. The attack can be repeated, but existing authenticated sessions are not invalidated. This issue is fixed in version 5.1.0.
AnalysisAI
Tinyauth versions prior to 5.1.0 can be forced into a temporary, instance-wide login lockdown by an unauthenticated remote attacker who sends POST /api/user/login requests using 257 distinct nonexistent usernames, filling the MaxLoginAttemptRecords limit so that legitimate users receive HTTP 429 responses until the default auth.loginTimeout of roughly 300 seconds elapses. The flaw is an availability-only, low-severity issue (CVSS 3.1 5.3, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L; CWE-307) that grants no confidentiality or integrity access and does not invalidate or degrade existing authenticated sessions; the attacker gains nothing beyond the temporary denial of new logins and must repeat the request burst to sustain it. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions beyond network reachability - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Tinyauth prior to 5.1.0, where lockdown mode (TINYAUTH_AUTH_LOCKDOWNENABLED) is enabled by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but low-severity availability issue, not a high-priority emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Tinyauth 5.1.0 (https://github.com/tinyauthapp/tinyauth/releases/tag/v5.1.0), which incorporates the fixes from PRs #943 and #1008 and commits 654b5cc436fc67865c1f55edf9ba9fbded50b74f and dade1e2c8f27a23df56ac216dcaf4b37081698e7 and removes the globally exploitable lockdown behavior; consult the advisory at https://github.com/tinyauthapp/tinyauth/security/advisories/GHSA-9xhm-w3wj-xhqh. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
