This vulnerability arises because there are no limitations on the number
of authentication attempts a user can make. An attacker can exploit
this weakness by continuously sending authentication requests, leading
to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. This can overwhelm the
authentication system, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users and
potentially causing service disruption. This can also allow attackers to
conduct brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.

This vulnerability occurs when a WebSocket endpoint does not enforce
proper authentication mechanisms, allowing unauthorized users to
establish connections. As a result, attackers can exploit this weakness
to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or perform unauthorized
actions. Given that no authentication is required, this can lead to
privilege escalation and potentially compromise the security of the
entire system.
