CVE-2025-1496: CWE-307 Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in BG-TEK Coslat Hotspot
CVE-2025-1496 is a medium severity vulnerability in BG-TEK Coslat Hotspot prior to version 6. 26. 0. R. 20250227. It involves improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, which can enable password brute forcing and authentication abuse. The vulnerability allows attackers to repeatedly attempt authentication without adequate rate limiting or lockout mechanisms. No official patch or remediation level has been confirmed yet. The vulnerability has not been reported as exploited in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-307) in BG-TEK Coslat Hotspot affects versions before 6.26.0.R.20250227 and is characterized by insufficient controls on the number of authentication attempts allowed. This improper restriction can lead to password brute forcing attacks and abuse of the authentication mechanism. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction required, impacting confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official remediation guidance has been provided as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform repeated authentication attempts against the Coslat Hotspot device, potentially leading to unauthorized access if passwords are brute forced successfully. This impacts the confidentiality and integrity of the device's authentication process. There is no indication of availability impact or active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, implement network-level protections such as limiting access to the authentication interface, monitoring for brute force attempts, and enforcing strong password policies. Avoid relying solely on the device's native authentication controls for protection.
