CVE-2022-2457Network attack vector

Account compromise via unlimited login attempts

Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated Aug 27, 2025

Improper login-attempt restriction in Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7 allows remote attackers to brute-force Administration Console accounts. Business Central accepts unlimited failed logins without locking the targeted account, enabling iterative username and password guesses. The console must be network-reachable, and unauthorized access requires a guessed valid credential; the published record identifies no broader direct impact.
