pyLoad Default Credentials

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 114979

Language:

Synopsis

pyLoad Default Credentials

Description

pyLoad is an open-source download manager written in Python. By default, pyLoad is configured with a default username and password allowing any attacker to log in to the application and have full access to its functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to perform further attacks against the application.

Solution

The application should not be configured with accounts using default or predictable credentials. A complex password policy should be defined and enforced on every account available in the application to prevent attackers from guessing it and have unauthorized access to the application.
