Some Xerox printers (such as the Phaser 3320 V53.006.16.000) did not implement account lockout. Local account credentials may be extracted from the device via brute force guessing attacks.

Weakness

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.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Phaser_3320_firmware Xerox v53.006.16.000 (including) v53.006.16.000 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • 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]
