Brute force vulnerability when using password authentication via Sorcery. The brute force protection submodule will prevent a brute force attack for the defined lockout period, but once expired protection will not be re-enabled until a user or malicious actor logs in successfully. This does not affect users that do not use the built-in brute force protection submodule, nor users that use permanent account lockout.
Patched as of version 0.15.0
.
Currently no workarounds, other than monkey patching the authenticate method provided by Sorcery or upgrading to version 0.15.0
