A vulnerability was found in macrozheng mall 1.0.3. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Admin Login. The manipulation leads to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack may be launched remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. 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]
