Credential Stuffing
Adversaries may use credentials obtained from breach dumps of unrelated accounts to gain access to target accounts through credential overlap. Occasionally, large numbers of username and password pairs are dumped online when a website or service is compromised and the user account credentials accessed. The information may be useful to an adversary attempting to compromise accounts by taking advantage of the tendency for users to use the same passwords across personal and business accounts. Credential stuffing is a risky option because it could cause numerous authentication failures and account lockouts, depending on the organization's login failure policies. Typically, management services over commonly used ports are used when stuffing credentials. Commonly targeted services include the following: * SSH (22/TCP) * Telnet (23/TCP) * FTP (21/TCP) * NetBIOS / SMB / Samba (139/TCP & 445/TCP) * LDAP (389/TCP) * Kerberos (88/TCP) * RDP / Terminal Services (3389/TCP) * HTTP/HTTP Management Services (80/TCP & 443/TCP) * MSSQL (1433/TCP) * Oracle (1521/TCP) * MySQL (3306/TCP) * VNC (5900/TCP) In addition to management services, adversaries may "target single sign-on (SSO) and cloud-based applications utilizing federated authentication protocols," as well as externally facing email applications, such as Office 365.

Affected vulnerabilities (Inferred)
CVE-2025-54863Radiometrics VizAir is vulnerable to exposure of the system's REST API key through a publicly accessible configuration file. This allows attackers to remotely alter weather data and configurations, automate attacks against multiple instances, and extract sensitive meteorological data, which could potentially compromise airport operations. Additionally, attackers could flood the system with false alerts, leading to a denial-of-service condition and significant disruption to airport operations. Unauthorized remote control over aviation weather monitoring and data manipulation could result in incorrect flight planning and hazardous takeoff and landing conditions.
CVE-2024-12799Insufficiently Protected Credentials
vulnerability in OpenText Identity Manager Advanced Edition on Windows, Linux,
64 bit allows Privilege Abuse. This vulnerability could allow an
authenticated user to obtain higher privileged user’s sensitive information via
crafted payload.
This issue affects Identity Manager Advanced
Edition: from 4.8.0.0 through 4.8.7.0102, 4.9.0.0.
CVE-2025-0867The standard user uses the run as function to start the MEAC applications with administrative privileges. To ensure that the system can startup on its own, the credentials of the administrator were stored. Consequently, the EPC2 user can execute any command with administrative privileges. This allows a privilege escalation to the administrative level.
CVE-2021-36783A Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in SUSE Rancher allows authenticated Cluster Owners, Cluster Members, Project Owners and Project Members to read credentials, passwords and API tokens that have been stored in cleartext and exposed via API endpoints. This issue affects: SUSE Rancher Rancher versions prior to 2.6.4; Rancher versions prior to 2.5.13.
CVE-2019-1384A security feature bypass vulnerability exists where a NETLOGON message is able to obtain the session key and sign messages.To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could send a specially crafted authentication request, aka 'Microsoft Windows Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability'.
CVE-2026-8760The Login with OTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.6. This is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-11178: the rate-limit/lockout check added to `otpl_login_action()` was placed only inside the OTP-generation branch and is never evaluated on the OTP-validation branch, and the generated 6-digit OTP additionally has no expiration. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to brute-force the 900,000-value OTP space for any user account (including administrators) and obtain a valid `wp_set_auth_cookie()` session, leading to full site compromise.
CVE-2026-43914Vaultwarden is a Bitwarden-compatible server written in Rust. Prior to 1.35.4, there is a security vulnerability in Vaultwarden that allows bypassing the login brute-force protection if email 2fa is enabled. If email 2fa is enabled, the unprotected 2fa-function send_email_login (email.rs, api endpoint /api/two-factor/send-email-login) also acts as an oracle determining whether a username-password combination is correct. An attacker can abuse that endpoint to brute-force passwords without rate-limiting. This works even for users who don't have email 2fa configured. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.35.4.
CVE-2026-23658Insufficiently protected credentials in Azure DevOps allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
CVE-2026-22278Dell PowerScale OneFS versions prior to 9.13.0.0 contains an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access.
CVE-2025-7393Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in Drupal Mail Login allows Brute Force.This issue affects Mail Login: from 3.0.0 before 3.2.0, from 4.0.0 before 4.2.0.
CVE-2025-63807An issue was discovered in weijiang1994 university-bbs (aka Blogin) in commit 9e06bab430bfc729f27b4284ba7570db3b11ce84 (2025-01-13). A weak verification code generation mechanism combined with missing rate limiting allows attackers to perform brute-force attacks on verification codes without authentication. Successful exploitation may result in account takeover via password reset or other authentication bypass methods.
CVE-2025-58587The application does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it possible for an attacker to guess user credentials.
CVE-2025-56221A lack of rate limiting in the login mechanism of SigningHub v8.6.8 allows attackers to bypass authentication via a brute force attack.
CVE-2025-55306GenX_FX is an advance IA trading platform that will focus on forex trading. A vulnerability was identified in the GenX FX backend where API keys and authentication tokens may be exposed if environment variables are misconfigured. Unauthorized users could gain access to cloud resources (Google Cloud, Firebase, GitHub, etc.).
CVE-2025-54428RevelaCode is an AI-powered faith-tech project that decodes biblical verses, prophecies and global events into accessible language. In versions below 1.0.1, a valid MongoDB Atlas URI with embedded username and password was accidentally committed to the public repository. This could allow unauthorized access to production or staging databases, potentially leading to data exfiltration, modification, or deletion. This is fixed in version 1.0.1. Workarounds include: immediately rotating credentials for the exposed database user, using a secret manager (like Vault, Doppler, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.) instead of storing secrets directly in code, or auditing recent access logs for suspicious activity.
