RapidIdentity LTS through 2023.0.2 and Cloud through 2024.08.0 improperly restricts excessive authentication attempts and allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the username parameters.

Weakness

The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Rapididentity Identityautomation * 2023.0.2 (including)
Rapididentity Identityautomation * 2024.08.0 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Common protection mechanisms include:

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.

  • Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
