Timeline:

2014-10-09 Flaw Discovered
2014-10-20 Vendor contacted
2014-10-21 Vendor response
2014-12-08 Vendor fix proposal
2014-12-08 Extension of embargo to 19.4.2015

2015-05-18 Release of version 5.0 and public disclosure


Summary:

The CollabNet Subversion Edge Management Frontend does not protect against brute
forcing accounts. An attacker has infinite tries to guess a valid user password.

Fix proposal:

Implement user specific time penalities or lock outs after a certain amount of
failed logins and provide configuration options for that feature.

Vendor fix:

Invalid logins now cause an exponential increase in response time. The rate of
increase and maximum is configurable with the default settings of 1 minute wait
time after 15 invalid logins in 5 minutes.
