A flaw was found in Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7 where an attacker can benefit from a brute force attack against Administration Console as the application does not limit the number of unsuccessful login attempts.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Process_automation_manager | Redhat | * | 7.13.2 (excluding) |
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]
