Initialization of a resource with an insecure default vulnerability exists in JavaTM Platform Ver.12.89 and earlier. If this vulnerability is exploited, the product may be affected by some known TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 vulnerabilities. As for the specific products/models/versions of MFPs and printers that contain JavaTM Platform, see the information provided by the vendor.

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.

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.
