A lack of rate limiting on the password reset endpoint of Chamberlain myQ v5.222.0.32277 (on iOS) allows attackers to compromise user accounts via a bruteforce attack.

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.

Potential Mitigations
