Oracle WebLogic must limit the number of failed login attempts to an organization-defined number of consecutive invalid attempts that occur within an organization-defined time period.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Anytime an authentication method is exposed so as to allow for the login to an application, there is a risk that attempts will be made to obtain unauthorized access. By limiting the number of failed login attempts that occur within a particular time period, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the account once the number of failed attempts has been exceeded.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
