Cisco Guard Inappropriate Default "root" Password

   
Cisco SystemsA weakness has been reported in Cisco Guard, which potentially allows malicious people to gain access to the administrative account.

The problem is that Cisco Guard inappropriately sets a default password for the "root" account during installation instead of prompting the user for a new password.

Successful exploitation will provide access to the system.

This affects all Cisco Guard versions prior to 3.1.

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Cisco Guard 3.x

SOLUTION:
Change the password for the "root" account.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by vendor.
