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, 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]
