CVE-2001-1260: Avaya Argent Office uses weak encryption (trivial encoding) for passwords, which allows remote attackers to...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a historical Avaya Argent Office issue where administrator passwords were protected with trivial encoding. The source says an attacker able to observe network traffic during a system reboot could recover credentials and gain administrator privileges. Exposure is most likely limited to organizations still running legacy Avaya Argent Office or retaining old deployments. The source bundle lacks version data, supported-platform details, and deployment prevalence. Treat as legacy-risk triage. It is urgent only if Avaya Argent Office remains deployed, especially on shared networks. Otherwise, record it as historical exposure and verify absence. Mitigation focus: Identify whether Avaya Argent Office exists in current or legacy environments.; Check vendor or archival guidance for supported fixes or upgrade paths.; Retire or isolate unsupported Argent Office deployments where feasible..
