This vulnerability exists in Meon KYC solutions due to missing restrictions on the number of incorrect One-Time Password (OTP) attempts through certain API endpoints of login process. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by performing a brute force attack on OTP, which could lead to gain unauthorized access to other user accounts.
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]
