What is CVE-2023-40834?

OpenCart CMS v4.0.2.2 has been identified as vulnerable due to an inadequate safeguard on its login page against multiple login attempts. This flaw permits unauthenticated attackers to exploit the system through brute force strategies aimed at the password entry field, potentially compromising user accounts and sensitive data. Mitigating such risks requires implementing rate limiting and account lockout mechanisms to enhance security against unauthorized access attempts.
