Overview
A significant vulnerability, coded as CVE-2025-2415, has been identified in the Akinsoft MyRezzta software. This vulnerability arises from an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, which allows an attacker to bypass the authentication process entirely. Akinsoft’s MyRezzta software is widely used, and the vulnerability poses a severe risk to users, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage. This blog post aims to provide a detailed insight into the nature of this vulnerability, the impact it could have, and the steps that can be taken to mitigate the risks associated with it.

How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-2415 vulnerability exploits the improper restriction of authentication attempts in Akinsoft’s MyRezzta software. In essence, the software fails to adequately limit the number of failed login attempts a user can make. An attacker can take advantage of this oversight by persistently trying different combinations of credentials until they gain access. This kind of attack is commonly referred to as a ‘brute force’ attack.
Conceptual Example Code
The following pseudocode is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:
for username in username_list:
for password in password_list:
response = requests.post('https://target.example.com/login',
data={'username': username, 'password': password})
if response.status_code == 200:
print(f'Successfully logged in with {username}:{password}')
breakIn this example, the attacker has a list of potential usernames (`username_list`) and a list of potential passwords (`password_list`). The attacker attempts to log in with each combination of username and password until they receive a successful login response (a 200 status code).
Mitigation Guidance
In order to mitigate this vulnerability, users are strongly advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. The patch will correct the excessive authentication attempts vulnerability, thereby preventing potential attackers from bypassing the authentication process. In the interim, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to block or alert on multiple failed login attempts from the same IP address, providing temporary mitigation to the vulnerability.
