Dell EMC ECS versions prior to 3.4.0.0 contain an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker may potentially perform a password brute-force attack to gain access to the targeted accounts.
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.
