HCL MyXalytics is affected by concurrent login vulnerability. A concurrent login vulnerability occurs when simultaneous active sessions are allowed for a single credential allowing an attacker to potentially obtain access to a users account or sensitive information.

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

Dryice_myxalytics Hcltech 6.4 (including) 6.4 (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]
