CVE-2024-12039 is a vulnerability in langgenius/dify version v0.10.1, specifically in the password reset mechanism, where no limits are applied to the number of code guess attempts for the six-digit reset code. This issue, classified under CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts), carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2025-03-20.
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network by brute-forcing the six-digit password reset code without rate limiting or attempt restrictions. Within a few hours of guessing, the attacker can successfully reset passwords for owner, admin, or other user accounts, resulting in complete compromise of the application, including high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-7 directly enforces limits on consecutive failed logons, structurally blocking brute-force exploitation of the weakness.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Behavioral monitoring of authentication activity can detect excessive failed attempts after they occur.
Authentication enforcement directly includes lockout, throttling, and MFA policies that prevent brute-force attempts.
Generating auth logs enables later detection or forensics but does not itself restrict attempts.
