GHSA-X8V9-7R66-C92W

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-15 15:30 – Updated: 2025-02-24 18:32
VLAI
Details

The Web GUI configuration panel of Hirsch (formerly Identiv and Viscount) Enterphone MESH through 2024 ships with default credentials (username freedom, password viscount). The administrator is not prompted to change these credentials on initial configuration, and changing the credentials requires many steps. Attackers can use the credentials over the Internet via mesh.webadmin.MESHAdminServlet to gain access to dozens of Canadian and U.S. apartment buildings and obtain building residents' PII. NOTE: the Supplier's perspective is that the "vulnerable systems are not following manufacturers' recommendations to change the default password."

Mitigation
Requirements

Prohibit use of default, hard-coded, or other values that do not vary for each installation of the product - especially for separate organizations.

Mitigation
Documentation

Ensure that product documentation clearly emphasizes the presence of default passwords and provides steps for the administrator to change them.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Force the administrator to change the credential upon installation.

Mitigation
Installation Operation

The product administrator could change the defaults upon installation or during operation.
