Missing rate limit when trying to join a password protected Nextcloud Talk conversation

Description

Impact

If the conversation is password protected and an attacker got the link/conversation token, they can brute force the password because there is no brute force protection.

Patches

It is recommended that the Nextcloud Talk is upgraded to 12.2.7, 13.0.7 or 14.0.3

Workarounds

No workaround available apart from not having password protected conversations.
