title: Password Pusher rate limiter can be bypassed by forging proxy headers
date: 2024-11-20
description: |
### Impact

Password Pusher comes with a configurable rate limiter.
In versions prior to [v1.49.0], the rate limiter could be bypassed by forging
proxy headers allowing bad actors to send unlimited traffic to the site
potentially causing a denial of service.

### Patches

In [v1.49.0], a fix was implemented to only authorize proxies on local IPs which
resolves this issue.

If you are running a remote proxy, please see
[this documentation](https://docs.pwpush.com/docs/proxies/#trusted-proxies)
on how to authorize the IP address of your remote proxy.

### Workarounds

It is highly suggested to upgrade to at least [v1.49.0] to mitigate this risk.

If for some reason you cannot immediately upgrade, the alternative
is that you can add rules to your proxy and/or firewall to not
accept external proxy headers such as `X-Forwarded-*` from clients.

### References

The new settings are [configurable to authorize remote proxies][1].
