The default configuration of sshd_config in Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) through 8.0.120.7 allows logins by the oracle account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by entering this account's hardcoded password in an SSH session, aka Bug ID CSCuv40501.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco Mobility Services Engine through 8.0.120.7 shipped with an SSH configuration that allowed the built-in oracle account to log in. The CVE says that account had a hardcoded password, creating a direct remote access risk if SSH was reachable. Exposure is most likely where Cisco MSE through 8.0.120.7 remains deployed and SSH management is reachable beyond a tightly controlled admin network. Treat this as high priority for any remaining Cisco MSE estate. Remote management access tied to a hardcoded credential can create direct system compromise risk, even though active exploitation is not evidenced here. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20151104-mse-cred for vendor-supported fixes or workarounds.; Inventory Cisco MSE instances and identify versions through 8.0.120.7.; Restrict SSH management access to trusted administrative networks only..
