CWE-1391
Use of Weak Credentials
The product uses weak credentials (such as a default key or hard-coded password) that can be calculated, derived, reused, or guessed by an attacker.
Use of a deterministic credential generation algorithm in /ftl/bin/calc_f2 in Small Cell Sercomm SCE4255W (FreedomFi Englewood) firmware before DG3934v3@2308041842 allows remote attackers to derive valid administrative/root credentials from the device's MAC address, enabling authentication bypass and full device access.
OpenMQ exposes a TCP-based management service (imqbrokerd) that by default requires authentication. However, the product ships with a default administrative account (admin/ admin) and does not enforce a mandatory password change on first use. After the first successful login, the server continues to accept the default password indefinitely without warning or enforcement. In real-world deployments, this service is often left enabled without changing the default credentials. As a result, a remote attacker with access to the service port could authenticate as an administrator and gain full control of the protocol’s administrative features.
Partner Software's Partner Software Product and corresponding Partner Web application use the same default username and password for the administrator account across all versions.
An unauthenticated attacker who knows the target device's serial number, can generate the default administrator password for the device. An unauthenticated attacker can first discover the target device's serial number via CVE-2024-51977 over HTTP/HTTPS/IPP, or via a PJL request, or via an SNMP request.
A weak credentials vulnerability potentially allows privileged system access via SSH to Sophos Firewall older than version 20.0 MR3 (20.0.3).
Use of weak credentials in emergency authentication component in Devolutions Server allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication via brute forcing the short emergency codes generated by the server within a feasible timeframe. This issue affects the following versions : * Devolutions Server 2025.2.2.0 through 2025.2.3.0 * Devolutions Server 2025.1.11.0 and earlier
Weak credentials in the CashDro 3 web administration panel, version 24.01.00.26, where the platform allows the use of numeric PINs for user authentication. The system supports the use of PIN-based credentials, maintaining compatibility with POS software integrations deployed since 2012. This could allow an attacker to easily perform a brute-force attack against a user and gain access by trying different PINs without the account being locked. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to confidential configuration settings, compromising the security of the system.
BridgeHead FileStore versions prior to 24A (released in early 2024) expose the Apache Axis2 administration module on network-accessible endpoints with default credentials that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands. Attackers can authenticate to the admin console using default credentials, upload a malicious Java archive as a web service, and execute arbitrary commands on the host via SOAP requests to the deployed service.
Dover Fueling Solutions ProGauge MagLink LX4 Devices have default root credentials that cannot be changed through standard administrative means. An attacker with network access to the device can gain administrative access to the system.
Kieback & Peter's DDC4000 series uses weak credentials, which may allow an unauthenticated attacker to get full admin rights on the system.
The Access Manager 92xx in hardware revision K7 is based on Linux instead of Windows CE embedded in older hardware revisions. In this new hardware revision it was noticed that an SSH service is exposed on port 22. By analyzing the firmware of the devices, it was noticed that there are two users with hardcoded and weak passwords that can be used to access the devices via SSH. The passwords can be also guessed very easily. The password of at least one user is set to a random value after the first deployment, with the restriction that the password is only randomized if the configured date is prior to 2022. Therefore, under certain circumstances, the passwords are not randomized. For example, if the clock is never set on the device, the battery of the clock module has been changed, the Access Manager has been factory reset and has not received a time yet.
fast-jwt provides fast JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation. Prior to 6.2.4, a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in fast-jwt's async key-resolver flow allows any unauthenticated attacker to forge arbitrary JWTs that are accepted as authentic. When the application's key resolver returns an empty string (''), for example via the common keys[decoded.header.kid] || '' JWKS-style fallback, fast-jwt converts it to a zero-length Buffer, hands it to crypto.createSecretKey, derives allowedAlgorithms = ['HS256','HS384','HS512'] from it, and then verifies the token's signature against an empty-key HMAC. The attacker simply computes HMAC-SHA256(key='', input='${header}.${payload}'), which Node accepts without complaint — and the verifier returns the attacker-chosen payload (sub, admin, scopes, etc.) as authentic. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.2.4.
In Unify CP IP Phone firmware 1.10.4.3, Weak Credentials are used (a hardcoded root password).
HGW BL1500HM Ver 002.001.013 and earlier contains a use of week credentials issue. A network-adjacent unauthenticated attacker may change the system settings.
In Slican telephone exchanges secure key is generated in a predictable manner using properties of the telephone exchange which can be obtained without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker can deduce the secure key and obtain admin credentials. This issue was fixed in versions below: - IPx series: version 6.61.0040 - CCT-1668: version 6.56.0430 - MAC-6400: version 6.56.0430 - CXS-0424: version 6.30.0510 The issue STILL EXISTS in End-Of-Life telephone exchanges in versions 4.xx and below: - CCT-1668 (CCT1CPU) - MAC-6400 - CXS-0424 These products were discontinued in 2011 and 2012 and and will not receive updates. These products require a hardware update in order to receive a software update. The vendor recommends that users of these devices contact the their service department directly to determine the options for upgrading.
On multiple products of SEIKO EPSON and FUJIFILM Corporation, the initial administrator password is easy to guess from the information available via SNMP. If the administrator password is not changed from the initial one, a remote attacker with SNMP access can log in to the product with the administrator privilege.
ZXHN-F660T and ZXHN-F660A provided by ZTE Japan K.K. use a common credential for all installations. With the knowledge of the credential, an attacker may log in to the affected devices.
Ruijie Reyee OS versions 2.206.x up to but not including 2.320.x uses weak credential mechanism that could allow an attacker to easily calculate MQTT credentials.
JUJU_CONTEXT_ID is a predictable authentication secret. On a Juju machine (non-Kubernetes) or Juju charm container (on Kubernetes), an unprivileged user in the same network namespace can connect to an abstract domain socket and guess the JUJU_CONTEXT_ID value. This gives the unprivileged user access to the same information and tools as the Juju charm.
Longse model LBH30FE200W cameras, as well as products based on this device, make use of telnet passwords which follow a specific pattern. Once the pattern is known, brute-forcing the password becomes relatively easy. Additionally, every camera with the same firmware version shares the same password.
