Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability exists in all hardware versions of spaceLYnk and Wiser for KNX (formerly homeLYnk) which could allow an attacker to guess a password when brute force is used.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.

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 [REF-1482].
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
