Summary
boneIO Black before 1.6.0 does not limit authentication attempts on its web login endpoint (POST /api/login) or its SSH service, and does not enforce password complexity. An unauthenticated remote attacker can make unlimited brute-force login attempts, which can compromise user accounts and give unauthorized access to the device. The flaw is classified as CWE-307.

Description from the CNA
boneIO Black does not limit authentication attempts on its web interface (POST /api/login) or SSH service, and does not enforce password complexity. An unauthenticated remote attacker can make unlimited brute-force login attempts, potentially compromising user accounts and gaining unauthorized access to the device. This issue was fixed in version 1.6.0: web login attempts are rate-limited per source address and per account, panel passwords must be at least 8 characters long, and SSH allows three authentication attempts per connection with a shortened login grace time.
