High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The CWE-798 vulnerability involves the use of hard-coded credentials, which could lead to information disclosure and remote code execution when SOCKS Proxy is enabled and administrator and PostgreSQL database credentials are known. SOCKS Proxy is disabled by default.

Risk Assessment

The risk to the organization includes potential system compromise and sensitive data leakage if an attacker obtains the credentials and enables SOCKS Proxy. Even though it is disabled by default, the risk increases in environments where the proxy is activated.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately change all default and hard-coded administrator and PostgreSQL database credentials, and ensure SOCKS Proxy remains disabled unless absolutely necessary. Additionally, implement strong authentication and monitor logs for unauthorized access attempts.
