Overview
The CVE-2025-1740 vulnerability represents a critical security flaw in Akinsoft’s MyRezzta software. This vulnerability stems from an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, allowing potential attackers to exploit the system through brute force attacks, authentication bypass, and password recovery exploitation. Given the high severity of this flaw, it is crucial for all MyRezzta users to understand the threat and apply appropriate mitigation measures to prevent potential system compromise or data leakage.

How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-1740 vulnerability is primarily caused by the inadequate implementation of security controls to limit the number of failed login attempts in Akinsoft’s MyRezzta software. This allows an attacker to execute unlimited authentication attempts, paving the way for brute force attacks. When successful, an attacker can bypass user authentication or exploit the password recovery mechanism, leading to unauthorized access to the system.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a brute force attack. For illustrative purposes, assume that the attacker uses a simple HTTP POST request to the login endpoint with different password combinations until a successful response is received.
POST /login HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"username": "target_user",
"password": "guess_password"
}Mitigation Strategies
The vendor, Akinsoft, has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users of MyRezzta software are strongly advised to update their software to the latest version (v2.05.01 or later) to secure their systems. If immediate patching is not possible, temporary mitigation can be achieved by implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block excessive authentication attempts.
