htdocs/parentalcontrols/bind.php on D-Link DIR-850L REV. A (with firmware through FW114WWb07_h2ab_beta1) devices does not prevent unauthenticated nonce-guessing attacks, which makes it easier for remote attackers to change the DNS configuration via a series of requests.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.

Common protection mechanisms include:
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
