An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-2525 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- calibreweb (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.6.20\n- calibreweb (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.6.20\n- calibreweb (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.6.20\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2525/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2525/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-2525","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2525/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-2525","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jg8w-wgx2-g7q4","PYSEC-2026-1231"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Calibre Web","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication attempt restrictions in Calibre Web, potentially leading to account takeover via brute-force attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntrdev","cpe":[{"product":"calibre-web","vendor":"janeczku"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in GitHub repository janeczku/calibre-web prior to 0.6.20.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in janeczku/calibre-web","id":"CVE-2022-2525","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2022"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in systemd-resolved","id":"CVE-2022-2526"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.6.20"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"calibreweb","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jg8w-wgx2-g7q4"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.6.20"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"calibreweb","purl":"pkg:pypi/calibreweb","source":"GHSA-jg8w-wgx2-g7q4"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.6.20"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"calibreweb","purl":"pkg:pypi/calibreweb","source":"PYSEC-2026-1231"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in beancount/fava","id":"CVE-2022-2523"},"products":["janeczku/calibre-web"],"published":"2023-04-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in calibreweb","id":"CVE-2022-30765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12627","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in janeczku/calibre-web","id":"CVE-2022-0990","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-04"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in janeczku/calibre-web","id":"CVE-2022-0767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-07"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in janeczku/calibre-web","id":"CVE-2022-0939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Calibre-web - Admin Account Takeover via Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-25965","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-16"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in janeczku/calibre-web","id":"CVE-2022-0352","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-28"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-06","vendors":["janeczku"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication attempt restrictions in Calibre Web, potentially leading to account takeover via brute-force attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2525/"}
