This vulnerability exists in Reedos aiM-Star version 2.0.1 due to missing restrictions for excessive failed authentication attempts on its API based login. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by conducting a brute force attack against legitimate user passwords, which could lead to gain unauthorized access and compromise other user accounts.
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.
