CVE-2025-53544 Information

Aug 06, 2025 cve

Description

Trilium Notes is an open-source cross-platform hierarchical note taking application with focus on building large personal knowledge bases. In versions below 0.97.0 a brute-force protection bypass in the initial sync seed retrieval endpoint allows unauthenticated attackers to guess the login password without triggering rate limiting. Trilium is a single-user app without a username requirement and brute-force protection bypass makes exploitation much more feasible. Multiple features provided by Trilium (e.g. MFA share notes custom request handler) indicate that Trilium can be exposed to the internet. This is fixed in version 0.97.0.
