OWASP	A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level	Low

Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

The account lockout feature is disabled or not properly configured in your authentication logic, allowing unlimited failed login attempts. This makes it easy for attackers to repeatedly guess passwords without being blocked.

Impact#

If exploited, attackers can use automated tools to perform brute-force attacks and potentially compromise user accounts. This can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and reputational damage to your application or organization.
