Default Username/Password Pairs in ON Command CCM 5.x Database Backend
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://sea.symantec.com/content/product.cfm?productid=10> ON Command CCM
is "a solution for central management of Windows workstations and servers.
It handles unattended OS and software installation on managed computers.
All configuration information for managed workstations, including
passwords for local administrators, domain administrator passwords if the
workstation is joined to a domain and license keys are stored in the CCM
database". The CCM server software is available for several OSes,
including Solaris, Linux and Windows.
Four default username/password pairs are present in the Sybase database
backend used by ON Command CCM 5.x servers. One of the username/password
pairs is publicly available in a knowledge base article at ON Technology's
web site.
The database accounts can be used to read and modify all data in the CCM
database. The database contains among other things usernames and passwords
for administrative accounts for all managed workstations and servers. In a
default CCM installation the Sybase database server is reachable from the
network on the standard Sybase database port.
Two of the database account passwords are extremely easy to guess.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* ON Command CCM version 5.0
Immune Systems:
* ON Command CCM version 6.0
Impact:
Using any of the default database accounts an attacker can easily retrieve
all passwords in clear-text for all systems managed by
CCM. Since this includes the domain administrator password if CCM handles
joining managed systems to a domain (which is usually the case) this can
lead to compromise on both servers and workstations.
Any other sensitive data, such as license keys, is also available from the
CCM database.
Workarounds:
* The passwords can be changed for three of the users. The fourth user's
credentials are used by the CCM server daemons and are hard-coded in the
binaries.
* The Sybase database port can be firewalled locally on the CCMserver,
denying access to network requests. Local requests can't be blocked
however.
