Soosyze CMS 2.0 allows brute-force login attacks via the /user/login endpoint due to missing rate-limiting and lockout mechanisms. An attacker can repeatedly submit login attempts without restrictions, potentially gaining unauthorized administrative access. This vulnerability corresponds to CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts.
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]
