Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the CheckPwd function in users/password.go when handling login requests to the api/login endpoint. A remote user can send a specially crafted login request with an excessively large password to cause a denial of service.
Concurrent requests can spike CPU and memory usage and may cause the service to become unresponsive or crash.
