A vulnerability was determined in mtons mblog up to 3.5.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /email/send_code of the component Verification Code Handler. The manipulation of the argument email 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 exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
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]
