Summary

Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) Policy Manager versions prior to 5.34.00.16 contain an Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could exploit it to achieve elevation of privileges, protection mechanism bypass, and unauthorized access.
