Title: Pingtel Expressa Default Blank Administrator Password Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Expressa is the Java-Based Voice-Over-IP phone developed and distributed by Pingtel.
A problem with Expressa phones could make it possible for a user to gain administrative access to a vulnerable phone.
It has been discovered that Pingtel Expressa phones do not require the setting of an administrator password by default. The default password set for Expressa phones is a NULL value, which allows access to administrative functions without authentication whatsoever. A phone without the administrative password set could be accessed remotely by an attacker via the web interface.
This problem could allow a user with either local, physical access, or access to the phone across a network medium to gain administrative access to the vulnerable device.
Affected Products:
- Pingtel Xpressa 1.2.5
- Pingtel Xpressa 1.2.7 .4
