What is CVE-2016-9124?

Revive Adserver versions prior to 3.2.3 are susceptible to improper authentication management that allows password-guessing attacks on the login page. While an account lockdown feature was considered for better security, it was ultimately deemed disruptive for legitimate users during attack scenarios. To mitigate these risks, a random delay was implemented after failed password attempts, along with measures to prevent simultaneous brute-force attempts, ensuring that valid users are still able to access the adserver during ongoing attacks.
