CVE-2020-1722

CVSS v3.1

6.1

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ipa versions 4.x.x through 4.8.0
Description A flaw was found in the password hashing process. When a very long password (>= 1,000,000 characters) is sent to the server, it could exhaust memory and CPU, leading to a denial of service and the website becoming unresponsive. The highest threat from this issue is to system availability.
Recommendations For ipa versions 4.x.x through 4.8.0, consider restricting the length of passwords that can be sent to the server to prevent exhaustion of memory and CPU. As a temporary workaround, implement measures to limit the impact of a denial of service, such as monitoring system resources and configuring the server to handle high loads. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
