AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the affected authentication endpoints or implementing rate limiting to mitigate session exhaustion.

Description

Eclipse Kura versions 5.0.0 through 5.6.2 have a vulnerability in the Web Console where each request to certain authentication endpoints causes a new HTTP session to be allocated before any authentication checks. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger unbounded session creation, exhausting JVM heap memory and crashing the Kura process.
