FKIE_CVE-2024-8057

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-03-20 10:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 08:21
Severity
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Summary
In version 0.4.1 of danswer-ai/danswer, a vulnerability exists where a basic user can create credentials and link them to an existing connector. This issue arises because the system allows an unauthenticated attacker to sign up with a basic account and perform actions that should be restricted to admin users. This can lead to excessive resource consumption, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) and other significant issues, impacting the system's stability and security.
