A vulnerability has been identified in SINEMA Remote Connect Server (All versions < V2.0 SP1). The web interface has no means to prevent password guessing attacks. The vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker with network access to the vulnerable software, requiring no privileges and no user interaction. The vulnerability could allow full access to the web interface. At the time of advisory publication no public exploitation of this security vulnerability was known.
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.
