Ricoh SP C250DN 1.05 devices have an Authentication Method Vulnerable to Brute Force Attacks. Some Ricoh printers did not implement account lockout. Therefore, it was possible to obtain the local account credentials by brute force.

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

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]
