Imagine a front door with a flimsy lock and a welcome mat that says 'Please break in!'—that’s what weak password requirements combined with excessive login attempts can feel like. CVE-2020-8790 stems from the OKLOK app's insufficient password policies and lack of limits on authentication attempts, making it susceptible to brute force attacks.
