As a result, an attacker could try to brute-force and therefore bypass user's two factor protections without triggering the lockout mechanism. This vulnerability was identified in a commissioned penetration test conducted by PS Positive Security GmbH. *Affected Versions*: * 2.3.0 *Indicators of Compromise*: Failed two factor authentication attempts can be identified within a Checkmk site's security log file (~/var/log/security.log). *Vulnerability Management*: We have rated the issue with a CVSS Score of 5.9 (Medium) with the following CVSS vector: <code>CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N</code> and assigned CVE <code>CVE-2024-28833</code>.
