CVE-2020-8827
Attackers can submit an unlimited number of authentication attempts without consequence.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
As of v1.5.0, the Argo API does not implement anti-automation measures such as rate limiting, account lockouts, or other anti-bruteforce measures. Attackers can submit an unlimited number of authentication attempts without consequence.
