Snap One OvrC Pro versions prior to 7.2 have their own locally running web server accessible both from the local network and remotely. OvrC cloud contains a hidden superuser account accessible through hard-coded credentials.

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.

OrvcSnapone*7.2.0 (excluding)

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.
