An issue was discovered in app/Controller/UsersController.php in MISP 2.4.92. An adversary can bypass the brute-force protection by using a PUT HTTP method instead of a POST HTTP method in the login part, because this protection was only covering POST requests.
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]
