The Dell KACE K2000 System Deployment Appliance stores the recovery account password in cleartext within a PHP script, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by examining script source code.

The remote Dell KACE K2000 appliance is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - The appliance stores the recovery account password in     plaintext within a PHP script. (CVE-2011-4046)

  - The appliance can allow arbitrary command execution by     leveraging database write access. (CVE-2011-4047)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists as the     appliance contains a default username and password for a     read-only reporting account. (CVE-2011-4048)

  - The appliance's web interface is affected by multiple     cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
    (CVE-2011-4436)

Nessus was able to log into the remote Dell KACE K2000 system using a hidden account.  The hidden account, 'kbox1248163264128256', also has administrator privileges.  A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this issue to gain administrative access to the K2000 device.

After gaining administrator access to the web interface, an attacker could elevate privileges by exploiting an arbitrary root command execution vulnerability, but Nessus has not checked for that issue.

Note that this plugin requires that the setting 'Do not log in with user accounts not specified in the scan policy' be disabled.
