Summary
Vantage6: No limit on emails sent for password/MFA reset
Workarounds
No
Impact
Users can reset their MFA token via API routes that send them an email. Currently the number of emails that is sent is not limited. This gives attackers the option to flood someones mailbox with a lot of emails, and would have adverse effects on the SMTP server which may be seen as spam sender.
Note resetting the MFA token requires a correct password, so the potential impact for this is very low.
Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service. Typical impact: denial of service.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2024-24769? CVE-2024-24769 is a low-severity uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in vantage6 (pip), affecting versions < 5.0.0. It is fixed in 5.0.0. Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service.
- Which versions of vantage6 are affected by CVE-2024-24769? vantage6 (pip) versions < 5.0.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2024-24769? Yes. CVE-2024-24769 is fixed in 5.0.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2024-24769 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-24769 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2024-24769 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
