Descriptions

An unspecified servlet in IBM Platform Symphony Developer Edition (DE) 5.2 and 6.1.x through 6.1.1 has hardcoded credentials, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain "local environment" access via unknown vectors.

Un servlet no especificado en IBM Platform Symphony Developer Edition (DE) 5.2 y 6.1.x hasta 6.1.1 tiene las credenciales embebidas, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evadir la autenticación y obtener acceso al "entorno local" a través de vectores desconocidos.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of IBM Platform Symphony DE. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the SoamGui servlet. The servlet uses a fixed username and password which allows a malicious user to execute commands remotely in the context of the process.
