A vulnerability was detected in linlinjava litemall up to 1.8.0. This affects an unknown part of the file litemall-admin-api/src/main/java/org/linlinjava/litemall/admin/web/AdminAuthController.java of the component Login Endpoint. The manipulation results in improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts. The attack may be performed from remote. A high complexity level is associated with this attack. It is indicated that the exploitability is 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]
