An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SMA) 11.0.273. It installs with default user credentials. The kbftp account has a password of getbxf, which is publicly known and documented. This allows remote attackers to trivially gain privileged access to the FTP service interface, which contains MySQL backups. Sensitive information is stored in the database, such as privileged credentials for other systems.
