A vulnerability was detected in unitedbyai droidclaw up to 0.5.3. The affected element is an unknown function of the file server/src/routes/pairing.ts of the component claim Endpoint. The manipulation results in improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack may be launched remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is described as difficult. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
Weakness
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
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]
