CVE-2022-29084
A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially exploit this vulnerability to brute-force passwords and gain access to the system as the victim.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.95%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Dell Unity, Dell UnityVSA, and Dell Unity XT versions before 5.2.0.0.5.173 do not restrict excessive authentication attempts in Unisphere GUI. A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially exploit this vulnerability to brute-force passwords and gain access to the system as the victim. Account takeover is possible if weak passwords are used by users.
