IBM App Connect Enterprise 11.0.0.1 through 11.0.0.24 and 12.0.1.0 through 12.0.11.0 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service due to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. IBM X-Force ID: 279143.
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.

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]
