OpenMediaVault is an open-source network-attached storage (NAS) solution that is widely used by home users and small businesses. It allows users to store and share data across multiple devices within a network. Its intuitive web-based interface simplifies the management of various services such as SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client, etc. OpenMediaVault is generally utilized by individuals and organizations looking to centralize their data management in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Thanks to its modular design, users can easily extend functionality through the use of plugins. Its accessibility and feature set make it a popular choice in digital storage management systems.
The vulnerability detected by this scanner relates to the use of default login credentials within OpenMediaVault installations. This typically occurs when default usernames and passwords are not changed, allowing unauthorized users who have access to the network to easily log in and gain full control over the shared data and system services. The issue is particularly critical as it offers potential intruders an open door to access sensitive information or modify system configurations. This kind of vulnerability is prevalent across software deployments where default settings are relied upon too heavily or overlooked. It's critical for system administrators to address these vulnerabilities to prevent any potential unauthorized access or data breaches. In many cases, simply changing the default credentials can mitigate this risk, enhancing the security posture of the installation.
Technical details about this vulnerability show that it resides within the login mechanism of OpenMediaVault. With the correct default username and password, an attacker can successfully authenticate against the service endpoint, gaining admin-level access. This is confirmed by the response received from the application when default credentials are used. The system responds with a status code indicating successful authentication and returns a JSON body containing authentication-related information. This vulnerability is critical as it does not require much skill or effort to exploit, thereby posing a significant risk if not properly managed.
If exploited, this vulnerability allows malicious actors to fully control the OpenMediaVault instance. This could lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or even the complete compromise of the host system. Such access would enable attackers to steal sensitive information, delete files, corrupt data, or disrupt services. Ultimately, the repercussions extend beyond data loss to potentially damaging the reputation of the organization using the compromised system.
