Summary
XWiki is prone to a vulnerability where a user without PR can reset user authentication failures information.
Insight
Insight
The script service method used to reset the authentication failures record can be executed by any user with Script rights and does not require Programming rights as it should have. Note that being able to reset the authentication failure record mean that an attacker with script right might use it to try performing a bruteforce attack since she'd been able to virtually deactivate the mechanism introduced to mitigate those attacks.
