MetInfo through 5.3.17 accepts the same CAPTCHA response for 120 seconds, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended challenge requirements by modifying the client-server data stream, as demonstrated by the login/findpass page.

Weakness

This attack-focused weakness is caused by incorrectly implemented authentication schemes that are subject to spoofing attacks.
