CVE-2019-1723: Cisco CSPC allows remote login with default password
CVE-2019-1723 · published 7 years ago
Summary
The Cisco Common Services Platform Collector includes a built-in account that uses a fixed password out of the box. An attacker on the network can connect to the device and log in with this account, even though it is not an administrator, potentially giving a foothold for further attacks. Upgrade to the latest releases (2.7.4.6 for 2.7.x or 2.8.1.2 for 2.8.x) to remove the default account.

A vulnerability in the Cisco Common Services Platform Collector (CSPC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access an affected device by using an account that has a default, static password. This account does not have administrator privileges. The vulnerability exists because the affected software has a user account with a default, static password. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by remotely connecting to the affected system using this account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to the CSPC using the default account. For Cisco CSPC 2.7.x, Cisco fixed this vulnerability in Release 2.7.4.6. For Cisco CSPC 2.8.x, Cisco fixed this vulnerability in Release 2.8.1.2.
