Weaknesses (CWE)

CWE-307 — Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts: The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.

  • [Architecture and Design] Common protection mechanisms include: Disconnecting the user after a small number of failed attempts Implementing a timeout Locking out a targeted account Requiring a computational task on the user's part.
  • [Architecture and Design] 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]
