Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in Sorcery

Quick fix

GHSA-jc8m-cxhj-668x — sorcery: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

bundle update sorcery

Details

### Impact 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.

### Patches Patched as of version `0.15.0`.

### Workarounds Currently no workarounds, other than monkey patching the authenticate method provided by Sorcery or upgrading to version `0.15.0`.
