Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions WMS 4.4 and prior, contain an Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Protection mechanism bypass.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Dell Wyse Management Suite versions 4.4 and prior lack proper restrictions on excessive authentication attempts, allowing a high-privileged attacker with remote access to bypass protection mechanisms through repeated login attempts.

MitigationImplement account lockout policies, rate limiting on authentication endpoints, and consider CAPTCHA for failed attempts to prevent brute force attacks.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Dell Wyse Management Suite version
    Locate the version information in the product UI under Help > About, or check the installer package/version file shipped with the deployment
    Affected if The installed version is 4.4 or any version prior to 4.4
  2. Confirm authentication protection settings
    Access the administrative console security settings and locate the authentication or login policy configuration section
    Affected if No account lockout threshold is defined after a specified number of failed attempts, or the lockout duration is set to zero or disabled
  3. Verify rate limiting on authentication endpoints
    Check the web server or application firewall configuration for rate limiting rules on login-related endpoints
    Affected if No rate limiting or throttling mechanism is configured to restrict repeated authentication requests from a single source
  4. Inspect brute force mitigation controls
    Review the security or authentication settings for CAPTCHA, bot detection, or similar protections on the login page
    Affected if No CAPTCHA, behavioral analysis, or blocking mechanism is enabled after failed login attempts

The environment is affected if Dell Wyse Management Suite version 4.4 or prior is deployed and no account lockout, rate limiting, or other brute force protection is configured on the authentication system.
