Summary
Vinchin Backup & Recovery v7.2 was found to use default MySQL credentials. This allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the database without password cracking.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential compromise of the backup database, leading to data leakage, modification, or deletion of backups, which could disrupt business continuity.
Recommendation
Immediately change the default MySQL password to a strong, unique one. Consider restricting database access to trusted IP addresses and implementing log monitoring for unauthorized login attempts.
Other vulnerabilities in Vinchin Backup & Recovery
