eVisitorPass contains default administrative credentials. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain full access to the application.

Weakness

The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the administrator, but the default is not secure.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Evisitorpass Thresholdsecurity 1.5.5.2 (including) 1.5.5.2 (including)

Extended Description

Developers often choose default values that leave the product as open and easy to use as possible out-of-the-box, under the assumption that the administrator can (or should) change the default value. However, this ease-of-use comes at a cost when the default is insecure and the administrator does not change it.
