An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-29973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-29973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29973/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-29973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q5cp-3jrf-3q9p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"pfSense firewall","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can create unlimited malicious users due to missing rate limits, potentially exhausting resources on pfSense firewalls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pfsense","vendor":"pfsense"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Pfsense CE version 2.6.0 is vulnerable to No rate limit which can lead to an attacker creating multiple malicious users in firewall.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29963"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-10-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-69691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-08"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-69690","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-41282","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10709","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-22"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Netgate pfSense CE 2.7.0 through 2.9.0 OS Command Injection via interfaces_qinq_edit.php","id":"CVE-2026-111214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Netgate pfSense CE through 2.9.0 OS Command Injection via Wireless Parent Interface","id":"CVE-2026-111215","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can create unlimited malicious users due to missing rate limits, potentially exhausting resources on pfSense firewalls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29973/"}
