      "value": "WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 29.0 and prior, `objects/getCaptcha.php` accepts the CAPTCHA length (`ql`) directly from the query string with no clamping or sanitization, letting any unauthenticated client force the server to generate a 1-character CAPTCHA word. Combined with a case-insensitive `strcasecmp` comparison over a ~33-character alphabet and the fact that failed validations do NOT consume the stored session token, an attacker can trivially brute-force the CAPTCHA on any endpoint that relies on `Captcha::validation()` (user registration, password recovery, contact form, etc.) in at most ~33 requests per session. Commit bf1c76989e6a9054be4f0eb009d68f0f2464b453 contains a fix."

      "value": "WWBN AVideo es una plataforma de video de código abierto. En las versiones 29.0 y anteriores, “objects/getCaptcha.php” acepta la longitud del CAPTCHA (“ql”) directamente de la cadena de consulta sin restricción ni saneamiento, permitiendo que cualquier cliente no autenticado fuerce al servidor a generar una palabra CAPTCHA de 1 carácter. Combinado con una comparación “strcasecmp” que no distingue entre mayúsculas y minúsculas sobre un alfabeto de ~33 caracteres y el hecho de que las validaciones fallidas NO consumen el token de sesión almacenado, un atacante puede forzar por fuerza bruta trivialmente el CAPTCHA en cualquier punto final que dependa de “Captcha::validation()” (registro de usuario, recuperación de contraseña, formulario de contacto, etc.) en un máximo de ~33 solicitudes por sesión. El commit bf1c76989e6a9054be4f0eb009d68f0f2464b453 contiene una solución."
