Description

If an application does not authenticate all connections from a remote device or system, a threat actor can remotely establish a connection to the device to access confidential data or make unwanted changes to device status or configuration. Many popular protocols, such as FTP, Telnet, and HTTP, provide some support for authentication but are often implemented without enabling it. Authentication is critical for any remote services that supports configuration changes, enables access to sensitive data, or that can change operational functions.
