Technical description

A provisioning script used when installing HIPASE-250 (formerly 250

SCALA) engineering workstations sets a fixed, hard-coded x11vnc

password. Because the same credential is applied to every workstation

provisioned this way, an attacker with adjacent-network access who

knows the password can gain VNC access to affected workstations.

Remediation
