There is no limit to the number of attempts to authenticate for the local configuration pages for the Hills ComNav Version 3002-19 interface, which allows local attackers to brute-force credentials.

Weakness

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.
