02 Description

MISP Unthrottled Authentication Failure Log Writes Enable Resource Exhaustion

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
  • AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
  • Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
0.57% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 46.9% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
6.9 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

The fix applies the existing hourly per-key log throttle to the two previously unguarded authentication-failure log writes. The throttle key is now derived from the client's source IP address rather than from caller-supplied input, preventing an attacker from generating unbounded Redis throttle entries. A per-request memo (stored in Configure::read('CurrentRequestAuthFailKeys')) is added to _shouldLog() to prevent duplicate log entries when beforeFilter() executes a second time via CakeErrorController on an exception, ensuring one request produces at most one log entry per key regardless of the operator's log_each_individual_auth_fail setting.
