CVE-2024-21662: Bypassing Rate Limit and Brute Force Protection Using Cache Overflow

March 18, 2024

An attacker can effectively bypass the rate limit and brute force protections by exploiting the application’s weak cache-based mechanism. This loophole in security can be combined with other vulnerabilities to attack the default admin account. This flaw undermines a previously patched CVE intended to protect against brute-force attacks.
