Description
Ekko Studio through 0.7.36 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated non-super_admin user to list and clear server-wide login lockouts via /api/auth/locked-ips. Attackers can send DELETE requests without an ip parameter to invoke unlockAll(), disabling the login rate limiter during password guessing against super_admin accounts.

AI Analysis

Impact

Ekko Studio through version 0.7.36 contains a missing‑authorization flaw that allows any authenticated user who is not a super_admin to access the /api/auth/locked‑ips endpoint. By sending DELETE requests without an ip parameter, the attacker can invoke the unlockAll() function, which disables the login rate limiter. This action enables password‑guessing attempts against super_admin accounts to proceed without the usual protection, effectively bypassing authentication safeguards.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Ekko Studio from Ekko Learn AI, with the vulnerability present in all releases up to and including 0.7.36. No other vendor or product versions are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity; the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw can be exercised only by an authenticated non‑super_admin user, the attack vector is inferred to be an authenticated API request within the application. Once exploited, the attacker can remove rate‑limiting constraints and launch accelerated brute‑force attacks against super_admin credentials. The risk is therefore moderate but can become critical if an attacker already has a user account and targets privileged accounts.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest Ekko Studio release where the authorization check has been added.
  • Restrict the /api/auth/locked-ips endpoint to super_admin users or add role‑based access control so that only super_admin can list or clear lockouts.
  • Monitor API traffic for unexpected DELETE requests to the /api/auth/locked-ips endpoint and temporarily block such requests from non‑super_admin roles.
  • As a stop‑gap, temporarily disable the unlockAll() functionality or enforce the ip parameter requirement until a patch is available.
