It was found that all versions of 3Scale developer portal lacked brute force protections. An attacker could use this gap to bypass login controls, and access privileged information, or possibly conduct further attacks.
Weakness
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3scale | Redhat | * | * |
| 3scale_api_management | Redhat | 2.0 (including) | 2.0 (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 [REF-1482].
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
