CVE-2021-44207
HighCVSS 8.1KEVSummary
Acclaim USAHERDS through 7.4.0.1 uses hard-coded credentials. This means that passwords or keys are embedded in the software, making it easier for an attacker to gain unauthorized access.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that an attacker can exploit known hard-coded credentials to log into the system and take control, potentially leading to data confidentiality and integrity breaches.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately change all default credentials and update the software to the latest version if a patch is available. Also consider implementing strong passwords and multi-factor authentication mechanisms.
