OPEXUS FOIAXpress Public Access Link (PAL) version v11.1.0 allows attackers to bypass account-lockout and CAPTCHA protections. Unauthenticated remote attackers can more easily brute force passwords.

Weakness

The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Foiaxpress_public_access_link Opexus 11.1.0 (including) 11.12.3.0 (excluding)

Potential Mitigations

  • 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]
