CVE Catalog

CVE-2017-15366

Critical
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Before Thornberry NDoc version 8.0, laptop clients and the server have default database (Cache) users set up with a single password. This password is left behind in a cleartext log file during client installation on laptops.

Risk Assessment

This password can be used to gain full admin/system access to client devices (if no firewall is present) or the NDoc server itself. Once the password is known to an attacker, local access is not required.

Recommendation

It is recommended to remove unencrypted log files and change the default password for database users. Appropriate security measures, such as firewalls, should also be implemented.
