A CWE-307 Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability exists in Easergy T300 (Firmware version 1.5.2 and older) which could allow an attacker to gain full access 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
Easergy_t300_firmware Schneider-electric * 1.5.2 (including)

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]
