CVE-2025-63807
Published: 20 November 2025
Description
An issue was discovered in weijiang1994 university-bbs (aka Blogin) in commit 9e06bab430bfc729f27b4284ba7570db3b11ce84 (2025-01-13). A weak verification code generation mechanism combined with missing rate limiting allows attackers to perform brute-force attacks on verification codes without authentication. Successful exploitation may result in…

account takeover via password reset or other authentication bypass methods.
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly mitigates brute-force attacks on verification codes by enforcing thresholds for unsuccessful authentication attempts and account lockouts.
Requires authenticators like verification codes to have sufficient strength of mechanism, addressing the weak generation vulnerability.
Supports detection and response to account takeovers by requiring monitoring of account usage and processes for disabling compromised accounts.
Security SummaryAI
CVE-2025-63807 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8) affecting weijiang1994 university-bbs, also known as Blogin, specifically in commit 9e06bab430bfc729f27b4284ba7570db3b11ce84 dated 2025-01-13. The issue stems from a weak verification code generation mechanism combined with the absence of rate limiting, enabling unauthenticated brute-force attacks on verification codes. This flaw is linked to CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts) and CWE-1390 (Weak Authentication).
Remote attackers require no privileges, user interaction, or special access (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) to exploit the vulnerability over the network with low complexity. Successful brute-forcing of verification codes can lead to account takeover through password reset flows or other authentication bypass techniques, resulting in high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H).
A detailed advisory on the vulnerability, including potential exploitation details, is available in the referenced GitHub Gist at https://gist.github.com/Rycarl-Furry/3e93c6f0d48a29518adf341e0fc7e2dd. The CVE was published on 2025-11-20.
