Default Password (sq!us3r) for 'dbadmin' Account

critical Nessus Plugin ID 42147

Language:

Synopsis

The remote system can be accessed with a default account.

Description

The account 'dbadmin' on the remote host has the password 'sq!us3r'.

An attacker may leverage this issue to gain access to the affected system.

Note that RioRey RIOS appliances, used for dynamic denial of service mitigation, are reported to use these credentials to support connections from rVIEW, the vendor's central management and configuration tool, and that an attacker reportedly may be able to escalate privileges through several vulnerabilities to gain full control over the device.

Solution

If the affected device is a RioRey platform, contact the vendor for a patch.

Otherwise, change the password for this account or disable it.
