A vulnerability exists in NSD570 login panel that does not restrict excessive authentication attempts. If exploited, this could cause account takeover and unauthorized access to the system when an attacker conducts brute-force attacks against the equipment login. Note that the system supports only one concurrent session and implements a delay of more than a second between failed login attempts making it difficult to automate the 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.
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]
