Horde Admin Account Default Password

critical Nessus Plugin ID 20171

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that uses a default administrative password.

Description

The remote installation of horde uses an administrative account with no password. An attacker can leverage this issue to gain full control over the affected application and to run arbitrary shell, PHP, and SQL commands using the supplied admin utilities.

Note that while the advisory is from Debian, the flaw is not specific to that distribution - any installation of Horde that has not been completely configured is vulnerable.

Solution

Either remove Horde or complete its configuration by configuring an authentication backend.
