Cloud Foundry UAA, all versions prior to 4.20.0 and Cloud Foundry UAA Release, all versions prior to 61.0, allows brute forcing of MFA codes. A remote unauthenticated malicious user in possession of a valid username and password can brute force MFA to login as the targeted user.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.

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 [REF-1482].
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
