Summary

CVE-2024-1666 is a medium-severity Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) vulnerability in Lunary Lunary. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique OS Exhaustion Flood (T1499.001); ranked at the 38th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as LLM Application Platforms; in the Other ATLAS/OWASP Terms risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-10 (Concurrent Session Control) and SC-6 (Resource Availability) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

In lunary-ai/lunary version 1.0.0, an authorization flaw exists that allows unauthorized radar creation. The vulnerability stems from the lack of server-side checks to verify if a user is on a free account during the radar creation process, which is only…

enforced in the web UI. As a result, attackers can bypass the intended account upgrade requirement by directly sending crafted requests to the server, enabling the creation of an unlimited number of radars without payment.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-10 Concurrent Session Control good match

Directly enforces a hard limit on concurrent sessions, structurally preventing unbounded resource allocation.

SC-6 Resource Availability good match

Requires explicit allocation of resources by priority or quota, directly stopping unlimited allocation.

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts partial match

Imposes a limit on consecutive invalid attempts, preventing one specific class of unbounded resource consumption.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection partial match

Reduces impact of resulting DoS events without preventing the underlying lack of allocation limits.
