Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-01-22 11:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:34
Severity
Summary
The setUpSubtleUserAccount function in /bin/bw on Harman AMX devices before 2015-10-12 has a hardcoded password for the BlackWidow account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a (1) SSH or (2) HTTP session, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1984.
