CVE-2015-5010
HighSummary
IBM Security Access Manager for Web versions 7.0 before 7.0.0 IF21, 8.0 before 8.0.1.3 IF4, and 9.0 before 9.0.0.1 IF1 lacks a lockout mechanism for invalid login attempts, making it easier for remote attackers to gain access via a brute-force attack.
Risk Assessment
The lack of a lockout mechanism increases the risk of successful brute-force attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of the software that implements a lockout mechanism for invalid login attempts.
