The Omron FINS protocol has an authenticated feature to prevent access to memory regions. Authentication is susceptible to bruteforce attack, which may allow an adversary to gain access to protected memory. This access can allow overwrite of values including programmed logic.
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.

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]
