{"id":"CVE-2016-9124","details":"Revive Adserver before 3.2.3 suffers from Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts. The login page of Revive Adserver is vulnerable to password-guessing attacks. An account lockdown feature was considered, but rejected to avoid introducing service disruptions to regular users during such attacks. A random delay has instead been introduced as a countermeasure in case of password failures, along with a system to discourage parallel brute forcing. These systems will effectively allow the valid users to log in to the adserver, even while an attack is in progress.","modified":"2026-07-08T12:43:30.369821Z","published":"2017-03-28T02:59:00.323Z","references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://hackerone.com/reports/96115"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/commit/847941390f5b3310d51b07c92ec91cc1f4cc82c9"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://www.revive-adserver.com/security/revive-sa-2016-001/"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"e1fc268218ef914dc3c37d98b9721759f051f74f"},{"fixed":"847941390f5b3310d51b07c92ec91cc1f4cc82c9"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:revive-adserver:revive_adserver:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"3.2.2"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v3.2.2","v3.2.1","v3.2.1-rc1","v3.2.0","v3.2.0-beta","v3.1.0","v3.1.0-beta","v3.0.3","v3.0.2","v3.0.1","v3.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2016-9124.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
