JSON

A bypass of brute force protection flaw was found in Argo CD. Since login attempts are stored only in memory, every time the server restarts, that number is lost and unlimited login attempts can be made. It is possible to bypass brute force protections by chaining this issue with a denial of service issue, such as CVE-2024-21661.

Mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
