CVE-2024-4311 Lack of login attempt rate-limiting in zenml-io/zenml

What is CVE-2024-4311?

CVE-2024-4311 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in zenml-io/zenml, published on 14 Nov 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

zenml-io/zenml version 0.56.4 is vulnerable to an account takeover due to the lack of rate-limiting in the password change function. An attacker can brute-force the current password in the 'Update Password' function, allowing them to take over the user's account. This vulnerability is due to the absence of rate-limiting on the '/api/v1/current-user' endpoint, which does not restrict the number of attempts an attacker can make to guess the current password. Successful exploitation results in the attacker being able to change the password and take control of the account.

Weakness: CWE-770
