CVE-2024-21662: Bypassing Rate Limit and Brute Force Protection Using Cache Overflow
(updated )
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.
