Dell EMC XtremIO versions prior to X2 6.4.0-22 contain a bruteforce vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker can potentially exploit this vulnerability and gain access to an admin account.

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.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Xtremio_management_server Dell * 6.4.0-22 (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.

  • Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
