| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
JATOS version 3.9.4
Description
The issue is a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in the authentication system. An attacker can prevent legitimate users from accessing their accounts by repeatedly sending multiple failed login attempts. Specifically, by submitting 3 incorrect login attempts every minute, the attacker can trigger the account lockout mechanism on the account level, effectively locking the user out indefinitely. Since the lockout is applied to the user account and not based on the IP address, any attacker can trigger the lockout on any user account, regardless of their privileges.
Recommendations
For JATOS version 3.9.4, consider implementing rate limiting on login attempts to prevent abuse of the authentication system. As a temporary workaround, consider increasing the number of allowed failed login attempts before the account lockout mechanism is triggered, or implement IP-based rate limiting to reduce the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the authentication system to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
