CVE-2025-10658 (GCVE-0-2025-10658)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-09-20 06:43 – Updated: 2026-04-08 16:43

Title
SupportCandy – Helpdesk & Customer Support Ticket System <= 3.3.7 - Authentication Bypass to Support Session Takeover
Summary
The SupportCandy – Helpdesk & Customer Support Ticket System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.7. This is due to missing rate limiting on the OTP verification for guest login. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to customer support tickets by brute forcing the 6-digit OTP code.

Summary
In ExtremeGuest Essentials before 25.5.0, captive-portal may permit unauthorized access via manual brute-force procedure. Under certain ExtremeGuest Essentials captive-portal SSID configurations, repeated manual login attempts may allow an unauthenticated device to be marked as authenticated and obtain network access. Client360 logs may display the client MAC as the username despite no MAC-authentication being enabled.

CVE-2025-8118 (GCVE-0-2025-8118)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-09-30 10:04 – Updated: 2025-09-30 19:14 Unsupported When Assigned

Title
Bruteforce Protection Bypass in PAD CMS
Summary
PAD CMS implements weak client-side brute-force protection by utilizing two cookies:  login_count and login_timeout. Information about attempt count or timeout is not stored on the server, which allows a malicious attacker to bypass this brute-force protection by resetting those cookies. This issue affects all 3 templates: www, bip and www+bip. This product is End-Of-Life and producent will not publish patches for this vulnerability.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Common protection mechanisms include:
  • Disconnecting the user after a small number of failed attempts
  • Implementing a timeout
  • Locking out a targeted account
  • Requiring a computational task on the user's part.
Mitigation MIT-4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482].
  • Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
CAPEC-16: Dictionary-based Password Attack

An attacker tries each of the words in a dictionary as passwords to gain access to the system via some user's account. If the password chosen by the user was a word within the dictionary, this attack will be successful (in the absence of other mitigations). This is a specific instance of the password brute forcing attack pattern.

Dictionary Attacks differ from similar attacks such as Password Spraying (CAPEC-565) and Credential Stuffing (CAPEC-600), since they leverage unknown username/password combinations and don't care about inducing account lockouts.

CAPEC-49: Password Brute Forcing

An adversary tries every possible value for a password until they succeed. A brute force attack, if feasible computationally, will always be successful because it will essentially go through all possible passwords given the alphabet used (lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers, symbols, etc.) and the maximum length of the password.

CAPEC-560: Use of Known Domain Credentials

An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate credentials (e.g. userID/password) to achieve authentication and to perform authorized actions under the guise of an authenticated user or service.

CAPEC-565: Password Spraying

In a Password Spraying attack, an adversary tries a small list (e.g. 3-5) of common or expected passwords, often matching the target's complexity policy, against a known list of user accounts to gain valid credentials. The adversary tries a particular password for each user account, before moving onto the next password in the list. This approach assists the adversary in remaining undetected by avoiding rapid or frequent account lockouts. The adversary may then reattempt the process with additional passwords, once enough time has passed to prevent inducing a lockout.

CAPEC-600: Credential Stuffing

An adversary tries known username/password combinations against different systems, applications, or services to gain additional authenticated access. Credential Stuffing attacks rely upon the fact that many users leverage the same username/password combination for multiple systems, applications, and services.

CAPEC-652: Use of Known Kerberos Credentials

An adversary obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate Kerberos credentials (e.g. Kerberos service account userID/password or Kerberos Tickets) with the goal of achieving authenticated access to additional systems, applications, or services within the domain.

CAPEC-653: Use of Known Operating System Credentials

An adversary guesses or obtains (i.e. steals or purchases) legitimate operating system credentials (e.g. userID/password) to achieve authentication and to perform authorized actions on the system, under the guise of an authenticated user or service. This applies to any Operating System.
