Details

Default Administrator accounts were not subject to the same brute force protection afforded to other Member accounts. Failed login counts were not logged for default admins resulting in unlimited attempts on the default admin username and password.

Is GHSA-8v6m-7f5v-hhx6 in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected silverstripe/framework, and gives you the command that fixes it.
