Sun Server Console Authentication Bypass

high Nessus Plugin ID 21597

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is protected with a default set of credentials.

Description

The remote host is running the Sun ONE Server Console, which provides an administrative interface to the Sun Java System Directory Server installed there.

The Server Console instance on the remote host allows authentication using a default set of credentials - 'admin' / 'admin'. This is likely the result not of a deliberate choice during installation but rather a flaw in the version of Directory Server used for the initial installation.

Solution

Manually change the administrative user password as described in the vendor advisory referenced above.
