CVSS v3.1
Official Description
360 Systems Maxx, Image Server Maxx, and Image Server 2000 have a hardcoded password for the root account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, or modify video content or scheduling, via an SSH session.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-4702 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
