CVE-2017-15366
Once the password is known to an attacker, local access is not required.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Before Thornberry NDoc version 8.0, laptop clients and the server have default database (Cache) users set up with a single password. This password is left behind in a cleartext log file during client installation on laptops. This password can be used to gain full admin/system access to client devices (if no firewall is present) or the NDoc server itself. Once the password is known to an attacker, local access is not required.
