Maarch RM 2.8.3 solution contains an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts due to excessive verbose responses from the application. An unauthenticated remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to compromised accounts.

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
Maarch_rm Maarch 2.8 (including) 2.8.6 (excluding)
Maarch_rm Maarch 2.9 (including) 2.9 (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.

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