CWE-1393
Use of Default Password
BaseIncomplete
Description
The product uses default passwords for potentially critical functionality.
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. There are many
lists of default passwords and default-password scanning tools
that are easily available from the World Wide Web.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-26701 | Cri | 0.65 | 10.0 | 0.00 | Mar 11, 2025 | An issue was discovered in Percona PMM Server (OVA) before 3.0.0-1.ova. The default service account credentials can lead to SSH access, use of Sudo to root, and sensitive data exposure. This is fixed in PMM2 2.42.0-1.ova, 2.43.0-1.ova, 2.43.1-1.ova, 2.43.2-1.ova, and 2.44.0-1.ova and in PMM3 3.0.0-1.ova and later. | |
| CVE-2024-51555 | Cri | 0.65 | 10.0 | 0.00 | Dec 5, 2024 | Default Credentail vulnerabilities allows access to an Aspect device using publicly available default credentials since the system does not require the installer to change default credentials. Affected products: ABB ASPECT - Enterprise v3.07.02; NEXUS Series v3.07.02; MATRIX Series v3.07.02 | |
| CVE-2026-33784 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Apr 9, 2026 | A Use of Default Password vulnerability in the Juniper Networks Support Insights (JSI) Virtual Lightweight Collector (vLWC) allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to take full control of the device. vLWC software images ship with an initial password for a high privileged account. A change of this password is not enforced during the provisioning of the software, which can make full access to the system by unauthorized actors possible.This issue affects all versions of vLWC before 3.0.94. | |
| CVE-2026-22886 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Mar 3, 2026 | OpenMQ exposes a TCP-based management service (imqbrokerd) that by default requires authentication. However, the product ships with a default administrative account (admin/ admin) and does not enforce a mandatory password change on first use. After the first successful login, the server continues to accept the default password indefinitely without warning or enforcement. In real-world deployments, this service is often left enabled without changing the default credentials. As a result, a remote attacker with access to the service port could authenticate as an administrator and gain full control of the protocol’s administrative features. | |
| CVE-2025-8077 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Sep 17, 2025 | A vulnerability exists in NeuVector versions up to and including 5.4.5, where a fixed string is used as the default password for the built-in `admin` account. If this password is not changed immediately after deployment, any workload with network access within the cluster could use the default credentials to obtain an authentication token. This token can then be used to perform any operation via NeuVector APIs. | |
| CVE-2024-50588 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Nov 8, 2024 | An unauthenticated attacker with access to the local network of the medical office can use known default credentials to gain remote DBA access to the Elefant Firebird database. The data in the database includes patient data and login credentials among other sensitive data. In addition, this enables an attacker to create and overwrite arbitrary files on the server filesystem with the rights of the Firebird database ("NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"). | |
| CVE-2024-30802 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | May 14, 2024 | An issue in Vehicle Management System 7.31.0.3_20230412 allows an attacker to escalate privileges via the login.html component. | |
| CVE-2024-29666 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Mar 25, 2024 | Insecure Permissions vulnerability in Vehicle Monitoring platform system CMSV6 v.7.31.0.2 through v.7.32.0.3 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the default password component. | |
| CVE-2025-26793 | Cri | 0.62 | — | 0.24 | Feb 15, 2025 | The Web GUI configuration panel of Hirsch (formerly Identiv and Viscount) Enterphone MESH through 2024 ships with default credentials (username freedom, password viscount). The administrator is not prompted to change these credentials on initial configuration, and changing the credentials requires many steps. Attackers can use the credentials over the Internet via mesh.webadmin.MESHAdminServlet to gain access to dozens of Canadian and U.S. apartment buildings and obtain building residents' PII. NOTE: the Supplier's perspective is that the "vulnerable systems are not following manufacturers' recommendations to change the default password." | |
| CVE-2024-29021 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.0 | 0.02 | Apr 18, 2024 | Judge0 is an open-source online code execution system. The default configuration of Judge0 leaves the service vulnerable to a sandbox escape via Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This allows an attacker with sufficient access to the Judge0 API to obtain unsandboxed code execution as root on the target machine. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.13.1. | |
| CVE-2026-2635 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.8 | 0.01 | Feb 20, 2026 | MLflow Use of Default Password Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of MLflow. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the basic_auth.ini file. The file contains hard-coded default credentials. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code in the context of the administrator. Was ZDI-CAN-28256. | |
| CVE-2024-43659 | Hig | 0.47 | 7.2 | 0.00 | Jan 9, 2025 | After gaining access to the firmware of a charging station, a file at <redacted> can be accessed to obtain default credentials that are the same across all Iocharger AC model EV chargers. This issue affects Iocharger firmware for AC models before firmware version 25010801. The issue is addressed by requiring a mandatory password change on first login, it is still recommended to change the password on older models. Likelihood: Moderate – The attacker will first have to abuse a code execution or file inclusion vulnerability (for example by using <redacted>.sh) to gain access to the <redacted>.json file, or obtain a firmware dump of the charging station or obtain the firmware via other channels. Impact: Critical – All chargers using Iocharger firmware for AC models started with the same initial password. For models with firmware version before 25010801 a password change was not mandatory. It is therefore very likely that this firmware password is still active on many chargers. These credentials could, once obtained, allow an attacker to log into many Iocharger charging station, and allow them to execute arbitrary commands via the System → Custom page. CVSS clarification: Any network interface serving the web ui is vulnerable (AV:N) and there are not additional security measures to circumvent (AC:L), nor does the attack require and existing preconditions (AT:N). The attack is authenticated, and requires high privileges (PR:H), there is no user interaction required (UI:N). The attack leads to a compromised of the confidentialy of the "super user" credentials of the device (VC:H/VI:N/VA:N), and can subsequently be used to full compromise and other devices (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H). Becuase this is an EV charger handing significant power, there is a potential safety impact (S:P). This attack can be automated (AU:Y). | |
