An issue was discovered in Bravura Security Fabric versions 12.3.x before 12.3.5.32784, 12.4.x before 12.4.3.35110, 12.5.x before 12.5.2.35950, 12.6.x before 12.6.2.37183, and 12.7.x before 12.7.1.38241. An unauthenticated attacker can cause a resource leak by issuing multiple failed login attempts through API SOAP.

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.

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]
