Overly Restrictive Account Lockout Mechanism vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation MELSEC iQ-F Series allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to lockout legitimate users for a certain period by repeatedly attempting to login with incorrect passwords. The legitimate users will be unable to login until a certain period has passed after the lockout or until the product is reset.

Weakness

The product contains an account lockout protection mechanism, but the mechanism is too restrictive and can be triggered too easily, which allows attackers to deny service to legitimate users by causing their accounts to be locked out.
