Xpand IT Write-back Manager v2.3.1 uses weak secret keys to sign JWT tokens. This allows attackers to easily obtain the secret key used to sign JWT tokens via a bruteforce attack.
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.
