FreePBX / PBXconfig Default Credentials

high Nessus Plugin ID 44873

Language:

Synopsis

A web application is protected using default credentials.

Description

The remote web server hosts FreePBX or PBXconfig, both of which are web-based interfaces used to control and manage Asterisk.

The remote installation of the interface has at least one account configured using default credentials. With this information, an attacker can gain administrative access to the interface and, in turn, to Asterisk.

Solution

Use the 'passwd-amp' and/or 'passwd-maint' shell scripts included with FreePBX / PBXconfig to change any reported default password(s).
