Description: A security issue has been reported in Symantec Discovery, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to gain access to, or to manipulate certain information.
The security issue is caused due to two database accounts, "DiscoveryWeb" and "DiscoveryRO", being created with no passwords during installation. Assigning a password to the "DiscoveryWeb" account will affect the proper functioning of Symantec Discovery.
The security issue has been reported in the following products:
* ON Command Discovery Standard Edition version 4.5.x
* ON Command Discovery Web Edition version 4.5.x
* Symantec Discovery version 6.0
Solution: Apply updates.
The vendor recommends that the "DiscoveryRO" account be removed unless it is being used in conjunction with the heat interface.
