CVE-2018-12323
A password of EHLGVG is hard-coded for the root and admin accounts, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to login at the console.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
