Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Barracuda Spam Firewall (BSF), possibly version 3.3.03.053, contains a hardcoded password for the admin account used for logins from 127.0.0.1 (localhost). This allows local users to gain administrative privileges.

Risk Assessment

A local user can log in as administrator using the known hardcoded password, leading to full compromise of the device and potential breach of the entire mail infrastructure.
