A vulnerability has been identified in SINEMA Remote Connect Server (All versions < V3.2 SP1). The affected application does not properly implement brute force protection against user credentials in its web API. This could allow an attacker to learn user credentials that are vulnerable to brute force attacks.
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]
