Description

By default, Standard & Poor's ComStock MultiCSP installs with a default password. The 'root' account has a password of c0mst0ck and the 'helpmcsp' and 'helpicl' accounts have no passwords initially, which is publicly known and documented. This allows attackers to trivially access the program or system and gain privileged access.

Classification

Attack Type: Authentication Management
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Solution: Workaround
Exploit: Exploit Public
Disclosure: Third-party Verified

Solution

Immediately after installation, change all default installed accounts to use a unique and secure password. When possible, change default account names to custom names as well.
