🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Access Restriction
windowsRestrict network access to Perfektive to only trusted IP addresses or internal networks
Use firewall rules to limit access (e.g., Windows Firewall: New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'Restrict Perfektive' -Direction Inbound -Program 'C:\Path\To\Perfektive.exe' -RemoteAddress '192.168.1.0/24' -Action Allow)
Account Lockout Policy
allImplement account lockout policies at the OS or network level to mitigate brute force attempts
Windows: secpol.msc -> Account Policies -> Account Lockout Policy
Linux: pam_tally2 or faillock configuration
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate Perfektive from untrusted networks
- Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) with brute force protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check the Perfektive application version in the application interface or installation directory. If version is earlier than 12574 Build 2701, the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check the application's about dialog or installation properties. On Windows, you can check file properties of the main executable.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify the application version shows 12574 Build 2701 or later. Test authentication with invalid credentials to ensure proper rate limiting is enforced.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed authentication attempts from single IP addresses
- Successful logins after many failures
- Authentication attempts with unusual patterns or timing
Network Indicators:
- High volume of authentication requests to Perfektive endpoints
- Traffic patterns consistent with automated brute force tools
SIEM Query:
source='perfektive_logs' AND (event_type='auth_failure' COUNT BY src_ip > 10 WITHIN 5m) OR (event_type='auth_success' AFTER event_type='auth_failure' FROM same src_ip)
