Bypassing Brute Force Protection via Application Crash and In-Memory Data Loss
An attacker can exploit a chain of vulnerabilities, including a Denial of Service (DoS) flaw and in-memory data storage weakness, to effectively bypass the application's brute force login protection. This makes the application susceptible to brute force attacks, compromising the security of all user accounts.
The issue arises from two main vulnerabilities:
By chaining these vulnerabilities, an attacker can circumvent the limitations placed on the number of login attempts.
This is a critical security vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the brute force login protection mechanism. Not only can they crash the service affecting all users, but they can also make unlimited login attempts, increasing the risk of account compromise.
