⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise through brute-force credential guessing leading to administrative access, data theft, or system manipulation.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to user accounts through automated password guessing attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper rate limiting and account lockout policies in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires only standard HTTP requests to the login interface. No authentication needed to attempt brute-force attacks.
