Vendor: Phoenix Contact GmbH

Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to lack of a login time-out feature to prevent high-speed automated username and password combination guessing. A remote attacker can conduct brute forcing attack against usernames and passwords and bypass security restrictions.

Mitigation
Update to version 1.35 or later.
