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.Show less

An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SMA) 11.0.273. It uses a hardcoded symmetric encryption key to encrypt secrets in the MySQL databases. (This key is not unique for each installation.) An attacker that gains access to the MySQL server or a backup files can decrypt the secrets. Often, the decrypted secrets can be used to escalate privileges within KACE, or gain privileged access to unrelated systems or services.Show less

An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SMA) 11.0.273. It installs with default user credentials. The report and R1 MySQL accounts have a password of box747, which is publicly known and documented. This allows remote attackers to trivially gain privileged access to the MySQL databases. Sensitive information is stored in the database, such as privileged credentials for other systems.Show less

An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SMA) 11.0.273. If a customer restricts access to the web console by IP address or subnets, the API endpoints are not restricted. If credentials/API keys are known to an attacker, the appliance can still be accessed via the API, leading to a potential compromise of the entire environment that is configured for KACE.Show less

Quest KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA) 13.0.x before 13.0.385, 13.1.x before 13.1.81, 13.2.x before 13.2.183, 14.0.x before 14.0.341 (Patch 5), and 14.1.x before 14.1.101 (Patch 4) contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to impersonate legitimate users without valid credentials. The vulnerability exists in the SSO authentication handling mechanism and can lead to complete administrative takeover.Show less

An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Management Appliance before 9.1. The script at /service/kbot_service_notsoap.php is vulnerable to unauthenticated reflected XSS when user-supplied input to the METHOD GET parameter is processed by the web application. Since the application does not properly validate and sanitize this parameter, it is possible to place arbitrary script code into the context of the same page.Show less
