CVE-2024-52796: Password Pusher rate limiter can be bypassed by forging proxy headers
(updated )
Password Pusher comes with a configurable rate limiter. In versions prior to v1.49.0, the rate limiter could be bypassed by forging proxy headers allowing bad actors to send unlimited traffic to the site potentially causing a denial of service.
Additionally, with the ability to bypass rate limiting, it also allows attackers to more easily execute brute force attacks.
