Mode Pengenalan
Array :
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, this places the responsibility of
changing defaults onto the administrator.

| Authentication | Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Catatan: If admins do not change the defaults, it is easier for
attackers to bypass authentication quickly across multiple
organizations. | |

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan
Phases : Requirements
Prohibit use of default, hard-coded, or other values that do not vary for each installation of the product - especially for separate organizations.
Phases : Architecture and Design
Force the administrator to change the credential upon installation.
Phases : Installation // Operation
The product administrator could change the defaults upon installation or during operation.
Catatan Pemetaan Kerentanan
Justifikasi : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Komentar : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
