Hard-coded Credentials in CA Introscope Enterprise Manager
Impact On Business
Unauthenticated attackers can bypass the authentication if the default passwords for Admin and Guest users have not been changed by the administrator. This may impact the confidentiality of the service.
Affected Components Description
CA Introscope Enterprise Manager is part of CA APM Introscope(R), an application performance management solution to manage Java Application performance. With the Right to View (RTV) version of CA APM Introscope, SAP ships a read-only version of the full product that is bundled with SAP Solution Manager (SolMan). This version only supports products that are licensed and supported by SAP. CA APM Introscope is integrated in the SolMan infrastructure. While the CA Introscope Enterprise Manager(s) are directly connected to SolMan, the Introscope Host Adapters (also known as Wily Host agents) are running inside the SolMan Diagnostics agents (SMD agents) that are installed on each SAP host that is monitored by SolMan.
Affected Components:
- Wily Introscope Enterprise 9.7
- Wily Introscope Enterprise 10.1
- Wily Introscope Enterprise 10.5
