Lexmark products up to 2023-01-10 are affected by an Improper Control of Interaction Frequency vulnerability. This issue arises when the product does not adequately limit or control the rate or frequency of user interactions, potentially allowing an attacker to abuse the functionality, such as by launching denial-of-service attacks or bypassing intended usage restrictions.

This repository provides two Python proof-of-concept scripts targeting CVE-2023-22960, a vulnerability in Lexmark printers' Embedded Web Server interface (firmware before 01/2023). The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass the brute-force prevention mechanism for both username/password and PIN-based authentication. The scripts, 'lexmark-brute-force-login.py' and 'lexmark-brute-force-pins.py', automate brute-force attacks against the '/webglue/session/create' endpoint over HTTP or HTTPS. The attacker supplies a target IP/domain, protocol, and lists of usernames/passwords or PINs. The scripts use multithreading to maximize login attempts, exploiting the flaw to enumerate valid credentials. The repository is structured with a README (explaining the vulnerability and usage), a license, and the two exploit scripts. No detection or fake code is present; both scripts are functional PoCs for the described vulnerability.
