An issue was discovered in EasyVista 2020.2.125.3 and 2022.1.109.0.03. Part of the application does not implement protection against brute-force attacks. Version 2022.1.133.0 corrects this issue.

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
Service_manager Easyvista 2020.2.125.3 (including) 2020.2.125.3 (including)
Service_manager Easyvista 2022.1.109.0.03 (including) 2022.1.109.0.03 (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]
