CVE-2024-52796 Information

Description

Password Pusher an open source application to communicate sensitive information over the web comes with a configurable rate limiter. In versions prior to v1.49.0 the rate limiter could be bypassed by forging proxy headers allowing bad actors to send unlimited traffic to the site potentially causing a denial of service. In v1.49.0 a fix was implemented to only authorize proxies on local IPs which resolves this issue. As a workaround one may add rules to one’s proxy and/or firewall to not accept external proxy headers such as X-Forwarded- from clients.
