CVE-2021-35965
The Orca HCM digital learning platform uses a weak factory default administrator password, which is hard-coded in the source code of the webpage in plain text, thus remote attackers can obtain administrator’s privilege without logging in.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.38%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
