Official description
INFINITT ULite 5.0.2.1_BN48_20260528 and earlier protects image-share links with a low-entropy password and does not restrict repeated password attempts, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to brute-force the password within the link validity window and gain unauthorized access to shared medical images. Fixed in ULite 5.0.2.1 BN50.

The underlying weakness: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- 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.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. Consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator.
