Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts

Summary

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. In github.com/argoproj/argo-cd package versions 1.5.3 through 2.8.12, 2.9.0-rc1 through 2.9.8, and 2.10.0-rc1 through 2.10.3, an attacker can exploit a chain of vulnerabilities, including a Denial of Service (DoS) flaw and in-memory data storage weakness, to effectively bypass the application's brute force login protection. This is a critical security vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the brute force login protection mechanism. Not only can they crash the service affecting all users, but they can also make unlimited login attempts, increasing the risk of account compromise. This has the same fix as CVE-2024-21662.
