An insufficient entropy vulnerability in the SecuSUITE Secure Client Authentication (SCA) Server of SecuSUITE versions 5.0.420 and earlier could allow an attacker to potentially enroll an attacker-controlled device to the victim’s account and telephone number.

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]
