Default Password for FTP 'admin' Account

critical Nessus Plugin ID 11539

Language:

Synopsis

The remote router uses default credentials.

Description

The account 'admin' on the remote FTP server has the password 'password'. An attacker may leverage this to gain access to the affected system and launch further attacks against it.

If the remote host is an NB1300 router, this would allow an attacker to steal the WAN credentials of the user, or even to reconfigure the router remotely.

Solution

Change the admin password on this host.
