Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-45589 impacts RapidIdentity LTS through version 2023.0.2 and Cloud through 2024.08.0. The flaw arises from insufficient controls on repeated authentication attempts, allowing abuse specifically through the username parameters and falling under CWE-307. It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.9, reflecting network-reachable impact focused solely on availability.
A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger the issue by submitting excessive login attempts with crafted usernames. Successful exploitation produces a denial-of-service condition that disrupts service availability while leaving confidentiality and integrity intact; the attack requires high complexity and no user interaction or privileges.
Advisories and release notes referenced at benrogozinski.github.io/CVE-2024-45589 and help.rapididentity.com/docs/rapididentity-lts-release-notes address patching for the affected LTS and Cloud releases.
