CVE-2024-12902Network attack vector

Privileged access via default service-account credentials

Published Dec 23, 2024 · Updated Dec 24, 2024

Default credentials in Global Wisdom Software Technology ANCHOR allow remote attackers to access its Windows virtual machine. High-privilege service accounts in the underlying Windows image retain vendor-default passwords instead of per-installation credentials. Affected 2.5-series builds before 2.5.9.5 and 2.7-series builds before 2.7.2.4 expose the accounts' privileges when a default password remains unchanged and a listed remote service is reachable.
