Summary
Hitachi Vantara Remote Ops Agent versions from 1.6.0 through 2.0 are affected. The password reset functionality has no rate limiting on attempts to enter the reset code, which enables brute-force attacks (CWE-640). When the password reset feature and email are configured, an unauthenticated remote attacker can take over any account and gain administrative access to the application, but device credentials and customer data cannot be accessed.
