Threat & Defense Details

Likely Mitigating ControlsAI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts

addresses: CWE-307

This control directly enforces limits on consecutive invalid logon attempts and automatic response (e.g., lockout) to prevent brute-force exploitation of authentication mechanisms.

IA-10 Adaptive Authentication

addresses: CWE-307

Specific conditions can include excessive failed attempts, triggering stronger authentication that restricts brute-force exploitation.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1110.001 Password Guessing Credential Access

Adversaries with no prior knowledge of legitimate credentials within the system or environment may guess passwords to attempt access to accounts.

Why these techniques?

The vulnerability is a missing account lockout (CWE-307) that directly enables remote brute-force login attempts against credentials.

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description

IBM DevOps Plan 3.0.0 through 3.0.5 uses an inadequate account lockout setting that could allow a remote attacker to brute force account credentials.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-36363 is a vulnerability in IBM DevOps Plan versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.5 stemming from an inadequate account lockout setting (CWE-307). This flaw enables a remote attacker to brute force account credentials due to insufficient protections against repeated login attempts. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating network accessibility, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact.

A remote attacker without privileges can exploit this vulnerability by conducting brute force attacks against login credentials. Success grants unauthorized access to sensitive account data, potentially compromising confidentiality, though the high attack complexity limits feasibility for low-sophistication adversaries.

IBM has issued an advisory detailing mitigations at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7261934. Security practitioners should consult this page for patch information and recommended configurations to enforce proper account lockout mechanisms.
