Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts --------------------------------------------------------- Karan M. Tank and Smit B. Shah have reported via HackerOne that the login page of Revive Adserver was vulnerable to password-guessing attacks. An account lockdown feature was taken into account, but rejected to avoid introducing service disruptions to regular users during such attacks. A random delay has been introduced as a counter-measure in case of password failures, along with a system to discourage parallel brute forcing. Such system will effectively allow the actual user to log in to the adserver even while an attack is in progress. A CVE-ID has been requested, but not assigned yet. CWE: CWE-307 CVSSv2: 8.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:P/A:N)
