CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedWazuh versions 4.6.0 through 4.14.4 are vulnerable due to a logic error in the CheckRateLimitsMiddleware.dispatch() function, which allows the /events endpoint to bypass the global rate limit when a specific threshold is not met. This flaw can lead to event injection, compromising the integrity of threat analysis by allowing excessive event submissions beyond the configured limits. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize this vulnerability to prevent potential abuse of their threat detection capabilities.

Original NVD Description
Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. In versions 4.6.0 and above, prior to 4.14.5, a logic error in CheckRateLimitsMiddleware.dispatch() causes the /events endpoint rate check to unconditionally overwrite the general rate limit result. When the global max_request_per_minute is exceeded, requests to /events still succeed if the events-specific counter (hardcoded 30/min) has not been reached. This allows event injection into analysisd beyond the admin-configured global rate limit. This issue has been fixed in version 4.14.5.
