If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the affected login endpoint and monitor for suspicious login attempts. Consider additional protective measures such as rate limiting or IP blocking to mitigate brute-force attempts.
Description
Listmonk versions 6.0.0 up to but not including 7.0.0-beta.2 contain a vulnerability that allows bypassing two-factor authentication (2FA). Attackers with valid passwords can brute-force Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) codes because the attempt counter resets on each new password login. This enables repeated login attempts via the POST /admin/login endpoint, allowing attackers to gain sessions for 2FA-protected accounts, including Super Admin accounts.
