Summary

Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host versions prior to 22.0.951 and Application prior to 20.0.2368 contain an undocumented local user account named 'ubuntu' with a preset password and a sudoers entry granting passwordless root privileges. Anyone who knows the hardcoded password can obtain root privileges via local console or equivalent administrative access. The patch is reported to be incomplete: /etc/shadow was remediated but /etc/sudoers remains vulnerable.

Risk Assessment

Anyone knowing the hardcoded password can gain full root privileges, leading to complete device takeover and local privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update the appliance to a patched version, remove or secure the 'ubuntu' account, and verify entries in /etc/sudoers.
