Thousands of warnings in log about failed Login attempt from local host

Hi everyone,

Since upgrading to 0.118 this morning i am seeing literally thousands (43k+ at last count) of warnings in my system log that read “Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from localhost (127.0.0.1) (okhttp/4.9.0)”.

I think i have seen this happen once or twice before if i have a failed browser login attempt. But this time around i am seeing 15 or so appear in the log every second!

By the way, restarting HA has not helped this.

Anyone have thoughts on this.

Cheers
Nick

*** UPDATE *** After rebooting the host these warnings seem to have stopped.
Still curious though what might have been the issue, in case it returns.
