Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Gordano, which allows malicious people to consume large amounts of CPU power and see information about other users.

1) It is possible to make the application consume large amounts of CPU resources by making multiple requests like "GET /../.. HTTP/1.0".

2) Authenticated users can access a log file with information about login attempts at "/admin/reports/alertlist.mml".

This has been confirmed in the latest version build 3138.

Solution:
We have received information that a hotfix should be available. However, the hotfix does not fix the above issues.

Filter access to the service so that only trusted IP addresses can access it.
