Project: Mail Login [1]
Date: 2023-October-04
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13∕25
AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <2.9.0
Description: 
This module enables users to log in by email address with minimal
configurations.

Drupal core contains protection against brute force attacks via a flood
control mechanism. This module's functionality did not replicate the flood
control, enabling brute force attacks.

A previous security advisory, SA-CONTRIB-2023-45 [3], was released for this
issue, but that release did not successfully address the vulnerability. This
security advisory and updated module version supersede the previous one.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you use the mail_login module for Drupal 8 or 9, upgrade to Mail Login
    8.x-2.9 [4]
