CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability exists that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a user account by performing an arbitrary number of authentication attempts when redirect handling is disabled.
AnalysisAI
Unrestricted authentication attempts against Schneider Electric PowerChute™ Serial Shutdown expose user accounts to brute-force compromise when redirect handling is disabled in the application configuration. The absence of any rate-limiting or account-lockout mechanism (CWE-307) allows an attacker to submit unlimited credential-guessing requests over the network until valid credentials are found. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that redirect handling is explicitly disabled in the PowerChute Serial Shutdown configuration - this is the named prerequisite in the CVE description, and deployments without this setting are not confirmed to be vulnerable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N reflects network-reachable exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction, which is the high-severity framing. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult Schneider Electric security advisory SEVD-2026-223-01 (https://download.se.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SEVD-2026-223-01&p_enDocType=Security+and+Safety+Notice&p_File_Name=SEVD-2026-223-01.pdf) for the official patched release version - an exact fixed version number was not independently confirmed from available input data and should not be assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
