How to fix?

Upgrade ethyca-fides to version 2.69.1 or higher.

Overview

ethyca-fides is an Open-source ecosystem for data privacy as code.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Brute Force via insufficient protections on the authentication process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts by performing automated credential testing attacks, such as credential stuffing or password spraying.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker possesses valid or commonly used credentials from external breaches.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) through an OIDC provider and disabling username/password authentication, if using a commercial Fides Enterprise license.
