A vulnerability has been found in Harness 3.3.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /api/v1/login of the component Login Endpoint. The manipulation leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
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 [REF-1482].
Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator. [REF-45]
