CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability exists that could cause account takeover and unauthorized access to the system when an attacker conducts brute-force attacks against the login form.
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]
