Synopsis

Login Form Bruteforced

Description

The scanner successfully authenticated on the target web application by using predictable credentials on its login form.

Solution

The application should not be configured with accounts using default or predictable credentials. A complex password policy should be defined and enforced on every account available in the application to prevent attackers from guessing it and have unauthorized access to the application.
