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.

| Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) uses default credentials for some SSH accounts |
| OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) industrial automation product has a default password |
| microcontroller board has default password, allowing admin access |
| children's smart watch has default passwords allowing attackers to send SMS commands and listen to the device's surroundings |
| surveillance camera has default password for the admin account |
| medical dental records product installs a MySQL database with a blank default password |
| healthcare system for archiving patient images has default passwords for key management and storage databases |
| database product installs admin account with default null password, allowing privileges, as exploited by various worms |
潜在的な緩和策
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 : Documentation
Ensure that product documentation clearly emphasizes the presence of default passwords and provides steps for the administrator to change them.
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.
検出方法
Automated Analysis
There are many
lists of default passwords and default-password scanning tools
that are easily available.
脆弱性マッピングノート
理由 : 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.
コメント : 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.
