Detail CWE-1393

The product uses default passwords for potentially critical functionality.

Mode Pengenalan

Architecture and Design : It is common practice for products to be designed to use default passwords 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, then it makes it easier for attackers to quickly bypass authentication across multiple organizations.
