CA eHealth Performance Manager through 6.3.2.12 is affected by Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts. An attacker is able to perform an arbitrary number of /web/frames/ authentication attempts using different passwords, and eventually gain access to a targeted account, NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer
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.
