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.
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 [REF-1482].
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
