All accounts installed with the Automation Controller NGINX web server's software and tools must have passwords assigned and default passwords changed.
All accounts installed with the Automation Controller NGINX web server's software and tools must have passwords assigned and default passwords changed. An XCCDF Rule
All accounts installed with the Automation Controller NGINX web server's software and tools must have passwords assigned and default passwords changed.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>During installation of the Automation Controller NGINX web server software, accounts are created for the web server to operate properly. The accounts installed can have either no password installed or a default password, which will be known and documented by the vendor and the user community.
The first thing an attacker will try when presented with a login screen are the default user identifiers with default passwords. Installed applications may also install accounts with no password, making the login even easier. Once the Automation Controller NGINX web server is installed, the passwords for any created accounts must be changed and documented. The new passwords must meet the requirements for all passwords (i.e., upper/lower characters, numbers, special characters, time until change, reuse policy, etc.).
Service accounts or system accounts that have no login capability do not need to have passwords set or changed.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
