Descriptions

The setUpSubtleUserAccount function in /bin/bw on Harman AMX devices before 2015-10-12 has a hardcoded password for the BlackWidow account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a (1) SSH or (2) HTTP session, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1984.

La función setUpSubtleUserAccount en /bin/bw en dispositivos Harman AMX en versiones anteriores a 2015-10-12 tiene una contraseña embebida para la cuenta BlackWidow, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos obtener acceso a través de una sesión (1) SSH o (2) HTTP, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-1984.
