Summary
There is an insecure default credentials vulnerability in NI grpc-device when TLS configuration is not present and the server is bound beyond loopback. This may allow an unauthenticated user access to the server on the local network.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be exposed to unauthorized access to the server, potentially leading to data leakage or other malicious activities.
Recommendation
It is recommended to configure TLS and restrict server access to local interfaces only to minimize risk.
Other vulnerabilities in NI grpc-device 2.17.0 and prior versions
