The Priva TopControl Suite contains predictable credentials for the SSH service, based on the Serial number. Which makes it possible for an attacker to calculate the login credentials for the Priva TopControll suite.

Weakness

The product uses weak credentials (such as a default key or hard-coded password) that can be calculated, derived, reused, or guessed by an attacker.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Top_control_suite Priva * 8.7.8.0 (including)

Extended Description

By design, authentication protocols try to ensure that attackers must perform brute force attacks if they do not know the credentials such as a key or password. However, when these credentials are easily predictable or even fixed (as with default or hard-coded passwords and keys), then the attacker can defeat the mechanism without relying on brute force. Credentials may be weak for different reasons, such as:

Even if a new, unique credential is intended to be generated for each product installation, if the generation is predictable, then that may also simplify guessing attacks.
