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.
Risk Assessment
Lack of restriction on authentication attempts allows an attacker to conduct a dictionary or brute-force attack, potentially leading to account takeover and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Update Dell Secure Connect Gateway Policy Manager to version 5.34.00.16 or later. Implement account lockout mechanisms after failed login attempts, along with strong password policies and multi-factor authentication.
