New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)

Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it is different from CVSS.

VPR Score: 4

Synopsis

It is possible to log into the remote web application by using a hidden account.

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade to K2000 3.3 SP1 or later.
