Moxa IKS and EDS do not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts, which may allow an attacker to discover passwords via brute force attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
