This security issue does not exist in IPA / FreeIPA. FreeIPA server correctly rejects the HTTP request for "user_unlock" method with 401 Unauthorized HTTP code when the attacker tries to reuse an older browser session. Therefore, we do not consider this report as a valid security concern. We have submitted a request to MITRE to reject this CVE ID.

Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
