Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A weakness has been reported in Cisco Guard, which potentially allows malicious people to gain access to the administrative account.

The problem is that Cisco Guard inappropriately sets a default password for the "root" account during installation instead of prompting the user for a new password.

Successful exploitation will provide access to the system.

This affects all Cisco Guard versions prior to 3.1.
