These versions contain a system account that is installed by default. The default system account is difficult to configure with non-default credentials after installation, and changing the default credentials in the embedded Tableau Server is not documented. If Tableau Server is used with Windows integrated security (Active Directory), the software is not vulnerable. However, when Tableau Server is used with local authentication mode, the software is vulnerable. The default system account could be used to gain unauthorized access.","published":"2017-03-08T08:59:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:20:06.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"ics-cert@hq.dhs.gov","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-1188"],"affected":["schneider-electric/tableau desktop","schneider-electric/tableau server","schneider-electric/wonderware intelligence"],"epss":{"score":0.13632,"percentile":0.96459,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.10479,"percentile":0.9561},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.13632,"percentile":0.96303}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 13.6%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs.
