Overview
The cybersecurity landscape is riddled with potential threats, one of which is the vulnerability CVE-2025-2411, present in Akinsoft’s TaskPano software. This vulnerability pertains to the improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, which could potentially allow an attacker to bypass the authentication process. The flaw affects TaskPano versions from s1.06.04 to before v1.06.06. This vulnerability is of particular concern due to the potential system compromise and data leakage that could occur if maliciously exploited.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability stems from the software’s lack of proper mechanisms to restrict excessive authentication attempts. This means that an unrestricted number of failed login attempts does not result in any temporary or permanent account lockout. As a result, an attacker can perform a brute-force attack, attempting a large number of combinations in a short period, until they eventually find the correct credentials to gain unauthorized access.
Conceptual Example Code
This conceptual code illustrates a brute force attack using a script that continuously attempts to login until successful:
POST /login HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"username": "admin",
"password": "<scripted_brute_force_attempts>"
}In this example, `
Mitigation and Prevention
Until the vendor releases a patch to rectify this vulnerability, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure. These systems can help detect and prevent brute force attacks by monitoring login attempts and blocking or slowing down repeated failed attempts from the same IP address.
As part of good cybersecurity hygiene, users should also use strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication if possible. This makes it significantly harder for brute force attacks to succeed.
Finally, users of Akinsoft TaskPano from versions s1.06.04 to before v1.06.06 should update their software to the latest version as soon as a patch is released by the vendor.
