Summary
Ekko Studio through 0.7.36 has a missing authorization flaw in its /api/auth/locked-ips endpoint, CWE-862. Any authenticated user without the super_admin role can list and clear server-wide login lockouts. An attacker can clear all lockouts with a DELETE request, which disables the login rate limiter while they guess passwords for super_admin accounts.

Description from the CNA
Ekko Studio through 0.7.36 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated non-super_admin user to list and clear server-wide login lockouts via /api/auth/locked-ips. Attackers can send DELETE requests without an ip parameter to invoke unlockAll(), disabling the login rate limiter during password guessing against super_admin accounts.
