CVE-2026-61458

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.

Summary		(es) PasswordPusher antes de la versión 2.9.2 contiene una vulnerabilidad de fuerza bruta en el endpoint POST /p/:token/access que carece de limitación de velocidad específica de ruta y mecanismos de bloqueo por envío. Los atacantes que conocen un token de envío pueden adivinar sistemáticamente frases de contraseña a 120 intentos por minuto sin activar ninguna defensa a nivel de envío, lo que hace que las frases de contraseña cortas o derivadas de diccionario sean prácticamente recuperables en cuestión de horas o días.
