CVE-2024-52008Network attack vector

Account compromise via unenforced invite password policy

Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Password policy bypass in Ethyca Fides before 2.50.0 allows remote attackers to set a one-character invited-account password. The /api/v1/user/accept-invite endpoint accepted the invited user's password without applying the server-side length, digit, case, and symbol validators enforced by the interface. An email provider and valid invitation link are required, and only the invited account is weakened, but password guessing can then compromise that account.
