NEC UM8000, UM4730 and prior non-InMail voicemail systems with all known software versions may permit an infinite number of login attempts in the telephone user interface (TUI), effectively allowing brute force attacks.
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]
