Venki Supravizio BPM 10.1.2 does not limit the number of authentication attempts. An unauthenticated user may exploit this vulnerability to launch a brute-force authentication attack against the Login page.

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

Potential Mitigations

  • Common protection mechanisms include:
