A vulnerability was found in Excitel Broadband Private my Excitel App 3.13.0 on Android. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown function of the component One-Time Password Handler. The manipulation leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. 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, 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]
