47
Medium Risk
This Affects:
django-phone-verifyTL;DR
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to brute force attacks due to insufficient protection against repeated SMS verification attempts. The patched version introduces comprehensive safeguards, including MAX_FAILED_ATTEMPTS (default: 5) to limit failed verification attempts before session lockout, MIN_TOKEN_LENGTH (default: 6) to enforce a minimum security code length, and a new failed_attempts field in the SMSVerification model with a migration for backward compatibility. These enhancements prevent automated attacks and improve the overall security of the verification process.
