FreeNAS WebGUI Blank Password

critical Nessus Plugin ID 77746

Synopsis

A web application on the remote host has a blank password set that allows for arbitrary command execution.

Description

The version of FreeNAS installed on the remote host either has not yet set up a password or has recently reset the WebGUI password. This allows anyone to log into the WebGUI, set up an arbitrary password, and then use the system terminal feature of the WebGUI to execute arbitrary commands with administrative privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to a version of FreeNAS newer than 9.2.1.7 or set a WebGUI password.
