CVE-2009-0616: Cisco Application Networking Manager (ANM) before 2.0 uses default usernames and passwords, which makes it...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco ANM versions before 2.0 could retain default usernames and passwords during installation. If reachable, an attacker could log in remotely, access the management application, and change configuration in ways that may disrupt service. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, active exploitation evidence, or detailed remediation text. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Cisco ANM before 2.0, especially where the management interface is reachable from untrusted networks. The bundle lists no affected CPEs and gives no detail on deployment prevalence. Treat as high priority if Cisco ANM exists in the environment. Default credentials on a network management application can enable unauthorized control and service disruption. No active exploitation is evidenced in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Identify any Cisco ANM deployment and confirm version is 2.0 or later.; Change all default installation credentials immediately where ANM remains in use.; Restrict ANM management access to trusted administrative networks only..
