CVE-2026-127111Alinto sogo unlimited sign-in attempts
CVE-2026-127111 is a unlimited sign-in attempts in Alinto sogo, rated critical (9.1 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: Critical, and reachable over the network without an account.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
Nothing slows down repeated password guesses.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects and change data or behaviour. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Alinto sogo to 5.12.13 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
SOGo before 5.12.13 contains an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to reset account passwords by repeatedly guessing secret-question answers via the passwordRecoveryCheck endpoint without lockout or rate limiting. Attackers can submit unlimited candidate answers to obtain a valid recovery JWT, then use it to change the account password without the old credential and log in via the connect endpoint, achieving full account takeover on accounts without TOTP enabled.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Sign-in, session and token handling. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
- Identity providers and SSO. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions. An attacker who crosses it can act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Alinto sogo run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
