critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422964

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In Sorcery before 0.15.0, there is a brute force vulnerability when using password authentication via
 Sorcery. The brute force protection submodule will prevent a brute force attack for the defined lockout
 period, but once expired, protection will not be re-enabled until a user or malicious actor logs in
 successfully. This does not affect users that do not use the built-in brute force protection submodule,
 nor users that use permanent account lockout. This has been patched in 0.15.0. (CVE-2020-11052)
