EMC Data Protection Advisor < 6.4.110 Database Hardcoded Password Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 108405

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a hardcoded credential vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the EMC Data Protection Advisor running on the remote host is 6.3.x prior to 6.3 patch 159 or 6.4.x prior to 6.4 patch 110. It is, therefore, affected by a default credential vulnerability due to hardcoded password with the appolosuperuser database account. A local attacker with knowledge of the default password could potentially gain unauthorized access to the database.

Solution

Upgrade to EMC Data Protection Advisor version 6.3 patch 159 / 6.4 patch 110, or later.
