Overview
The reported vulnerability CVE-2025-1710, found within the maxView Storage Manager, exposes potential risks to system integrity and data security. The vulnerability stems from the software’s inability to effectively thwart multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time period, rendering it susceptible to brute-force attacks. Affected systems could face grave consequences, including system compromise and data leakage.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by repeatedly attempting to authenticate with the maxView Storage Manager using different credentials in a short span of time. Due to the lack of measures in place to prevent or slow down multiple failed authentication attempts, an attacker could potentially gain unauthorized access by guessing the correct credentials through a brute-force attack.
Conceptual Example Code
A conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is through repeated HTTP POST requests to the login endpoint with different credentials. An example of this could be:
POST /login HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=guess&password=guessThe “username” and “password” fields would be substituted with different values on each request in a brute force attempt to guess the correct credentials.
Recommended Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the vendor’s patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) may serve as a temporary mitigation strategy.
