Lockout in-case of consecutive incorrect logins opens the option for
denial-of-service attacks. Has to be optional at best.

Betreff: Security Vulnerability - Guacamole 1.0.0

 

Hi,

 

My security vulnerability testing group has reported following issues:

 

1.      Reflected XSS - In the username field, while creating a new user
2.      HTML Injection - In the group name field while creating a new group
3.      Implementation of Captcha or a lockout in-case of consecutive
incorrect logins. I am using both mysql and LDAP (AD) authentication

 

He further suggested to implement HTML encoding for special tags like <, >,
", ' for 1 and 2 above.

 

It would be really helpful if anyone can direct me the resolution I need to
take to fix the above. 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Tushar Jain
