If you require Unauthenticated Endpoints, you MUST change your configuration to use a non-empty whitelist to specify the trusted networks.  An empty whitelist will allow all networks to create/recreate endpoints.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `advanced_authentication_server >= 6.4.0.0 <= 6.4.3.x`\n- `advanced_authentication_server >= 6.5.0.0 <= 6.5.0.x`\n- `advanced_authentication_server >= 6.6.0.0 <= 6.6.1.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":16,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":16,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
