Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Cisco Unity on IBM servers is shipped with default settings that should have been disabled by the manufacturer. This allows local or remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via a 'bubba' local user account, an open TCP port 34571, or when a local DHCP server is unavailable, a DHCP server on the manufacturer's test network.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to unauthorized access and activities, potentially leading to data loss or security breaches. The use of default settings increases the risk of both local and remote attacks.

Recommendation

It is recommended to disable the default settings and secure the 'bubba' account. Additionally, close the open TCP port 34571 and configure a local DHCP server.
