Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
This vulnerability exists in the Wave 2.0 due to missing restrictions for excessive failed authentication attempts on its API based login. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by conducting a brute force attack against legitimate user OTP, MPIN or password, which could lead to gain unauthorized access and compromise other user accounts.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a classic authentication brute force vulnerability in Wave 2.0's API-based login system. The application lacks rate limiting, account lockout, or progressive delays for failed authentication attempts, allowing remote attackers to repeatedly guess user OTP, MPIN, or password credentials until they gain unauthorized access.

MitigationImplement account lockout policies after a configurable number of failed attempts, add rate limiting with progressive delays between failed login attempts, and consider CAPTCHA or IP-based blocking for repeated failures.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify your installed 63moons product
    Locate the installed version of either 63moons Aero or 63moons Wave 2.0 in your system settings, about page, or installation directory. Common locations include the administration panel, version info file, or software inventory.
    Affected if The version is Aero < 120820241550 or Wave 2.0 < 1.1.7
  2. Locate the API login endpoint
    Review your application configuration or API documentation to identify the endpoint handling authentication requests. This is typically found in your API routes configuration, reverse proxy settings, or application gateway logs.
    Affected if The API login endpoint is exposed and accessible externally without additional authentication barriers
  3. Verify rate limiting configuration
    Inspect your web server, API gateway, or application firewall configuration for rate limiting rules on the login endpoint. Check whether any throttling, request limiting, or traffic shaping is applied to authentication endpoints.
    Affected if No rate limiting rules are configured for failed login attempts, or limits are set excessively high (e.g., hundreds of attempts per hour)
  4. Confirm account lockout policy status
    Examine the user authentication settings, security policies, or identity management configuration to determine if account lockout after failed attempts is enabled and configured.
    Affected if Account lockout is disabled or not configured for repeated failed authentication attempts
  5. Check for progressive delays
    Review application logs or test the login endpoint with invalid credentials multiple times to observe if the system introduces increasing delays between failed attempts.
    Affected if Failed login attempts are processed immediately without any time delay, or delays remain constant regardless of attempt frequency

Your environment is affected if you are running Aero < 120820241550 or Wave 2.0 < 1.1.7 AND the API login endpoint is accessible without rate limiting, account lockout, or progressive delays configured.

Interim mitigation

Implement account lockout policies after a configurable number of failed attempts, add rate limiting with progressive delays between failed login attempts, and consider CAPTCHA or IP-based blocking for repeated failures.

Recommended fix High confidence

Aero: 120820241550 or later; Wave 2.0: 1.1.7 or later

  1. 1. Identify which product (Aero or Wave 2.0) is currently deployed in your environment.
  2. 2. Check the currently installed version of the product.
  3. 3. For Aero users: Upgrade to version 120820241550 or later.
  4. 4. For Wave 2.0 users: Upgrade to version 1.1.7 or later.
  5. 5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the new version number.
  6. 6. Test authentication functionality to confirm the system is operational after upgrade.
