Premisys Identicard version 3.1.190 database uses default credentials. Users are unable to change the credentials without vendor intervention.

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
Premisys_id Identicard 3.1.190 (including) 3.1.190 (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.
