CVE-2024-57610
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-57610 is a rate limiting vulnerability in Sylius v2.0.2 that allows attackers to perform unlimited brute-force attacks on user accounts. This affects all Sylius v2.0.2 deployments without external rate limiting controls. The vendor states Sylius core doesn't include brute-force protection, requiring customers to implement their own security measures.

Sylius by Sylius
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete account takeover through successful credential brute-forcing, leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, and denial of service for legitimate users.
Likely Case
Increased account compromise risk, potential credential stuffing attacks, and degraded system performance from excessive authentication attempts.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact if proper rate limiting is implemented at network, middleware, or authentication provider levels.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires sending repeated authentication requests. No authentication needed to attempt brute-force, but successful exploitation requires valid credentials to be discovered.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v2.0.3 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Update Sylius to version 2.0.3 or later using composer update sylius/sylius. 2. Verify the update completed successfully. 3. Test authentication functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement External Rate Limiting
allAdd rate limiting at firewall, middleware, or authentication provider level to restrict authentication attempts
Web Application Firewall Rules
allConfigure WAF to limit authentication request frequency from single IP addresses
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network-level rate limiting using firewalls or load balancers
- Enable account lockout policies after failed authentication attempts
- Monitor authentication logs for brute-force patterns
- Use CAPTCHA or multi-factor authentication for login forms
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Sylius version in composer.json or via command: php bin/console sylius:versionCheck Version:
php bin/console sylius:versionVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm version is 2.0.3 or higher using: php bin/console sylius:version📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- High frequency of failed login attempts from single IPs
- Multiple authentication failures for same user accounts
- Unusual authentication request patterns outside business hours
Network Indicators:
- High volume of POST requests to authentication endpoints
- Traffic spikes to login pages
- Requests from IPs with high failure rates
SIEM Query:
source="auth.log" ("authentication failure" OR "failed login") | stats count by src_ip, user | where count > 10
