CWE-1392Use of Default Credentials
Category: auth
Description
The product uses default credentials (such as passwords or cryptographic keys) for potentially critical functionality.
It is common practice for products to be designed to use
default keys, passwords, or other mechanisms for
authentication. The rationale is to simplify the
manufacturing process or the system administrator's task of
installation and deployment into an enterprise. However, if
admins do not change the defaults, it is easier for attackers
to bypass authentication quickly across multiple
organizations.
Common consequences· 1
- Authentication — Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Potential mitigations· 3
- [Requirements]Prohibit use of default, hard-coded, or other values that do not vary for each installation of the product - especially for separate organizations.
- [Architecture and Design]Force the administrator to change the credential upon installation.
- [Installation, Operation]The product administrator could change the defaults upon installation or during operation.
