CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The rtrlet web application in the Web Console in Novell ZENworks Asset Management (ZAM) 7.5 uses a hard-coded username of Ivanhoe and a hard-coded password of Scott for the (1) GetFile_Password and (2) GetConfigInfo_Password operations, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted rtrlet/rtr request for the HandleMaintenanceCalls function.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-4933 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.
