CVE-2017-11191
FreeIPA 4.x with API version 2.213 allows a remote authenticated users to bypass intended account-locking restrictions via an unlock action with an old session ID (for the same user account) that had been created for an earlier session.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
