Vulnerability Data
An unauthenticated attacker with access to the local network of the medical office can use known default credentials to gain remote DBA access to the Elefant Firebird database. The data in the database includes patient data and login credentials among…

other sensitive data. In addition, this enables an attacker to create and overwrite arbitrary files on the server filesystem with the rights of the Firebird database ("NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM").

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces authorization on the primary administrative channel so the weakness cannot be exploited.
Requires unique identification and authentication before any administrative channel use.
Authenticator management requires verification of identity at initial distribution and secure handling that directly stops default passwords from remaining in use.
Configuration settings establish the most restrictive secure baselines, which include changing or disabling default passwords.
Requires documented protections and controls specifically for remote administrative channels.
Ensures session authenticity so an unprotected primary channel cannot be hijacked.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Credential management directly requires replacing default passwords with unique, strong credentials.
Strong authentication directly prevents use of an unprotected admin channel.
Enforcing least-privilege access on the channel mitigates the unprotected primary channel.
Protecting data-in-transit integrity and confidentiality secures the primary channel itself.
Network-level controls that block unauthorized logical access close the unprotected channel.
Hardened configuration baselines explicitly prohibit default passwords, covering most of the weakness but not all identity-management aspects.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure authentication protects the primary channel from unauthorized use.
Mandates secure handling and change of authentication secrets, directly addressing default passwords.
Privileged access rights directly restrict who can use the primary administrative channel.
Network security measures can help isolate or protect the primary channel.
Information access restriction limits exposure of the unprotected primary channel.
Configuration management processes typically enforce changing defaults during hardening.
