CVE-2024-45369
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes an authentication bypass vulnerability where weak authentication mechanisms allow attackers to impersonate legitimate users or resources. Systems using affected web applications with improper authentication validation are vulnerable. This affects any deployment where the application doesn't properly verify request authenticity.
