Statement

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.
