The number of attempts to bring the Hozard Alarm system (alarmsystemen) v1.0 to a disarmed state is not limited. This could allow an attacker to perform a brute force on the SMS authentication, to bring the alarm system to a disarmed state.

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
Alarm_system Hozard 1.0 (including) 1.0 (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]
