BAB TECHNOLOGIE GmbH eibPort V3 prior version 3.9.1 allow unauthenticated attackers access to /tmp path which contains some sensitive data (e.g. device serial number). Having those info, a possible loginId can be self-calculated in a brute force attack against BMX interface. This is usable and part of an attack chain to gain SSH root access.
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.
