What is CVE-2019-15929?

In Craft CMS up to version 3.1.7, the elevated session password prompt lacked proper rate limiting, which can result in unrestrained brute force attempts. This vulnerability can potentially lead to unauthorized access if exploited, allowing an attacker to guess user passwords successfully over repeated attempts. It's essential for users to upgrade to patched versions to mitigate this risk.
