AI-suggested
The vendor has partially remediated the issue by securing /etc/shadow, but the /etc/sudoers file remains vulnerable. Administrators should monitor vendor advisories for a complete fix that removes or secures the hardcoded sudoers entry. Until a full patch is available, restrict physical and local console access to trusted personnel only to mitigate exploitation risk.
Description
Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host versions prior to 22.0.951, Application prior to 20.0.2368 (VA and SaaS deployments) contain an undocumented local user account named ubuntu with a preset password and a sudoers entry granting that account passwordless root privileges (ubuntu ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL). Anyone who knows the hardcoded password can obtain root privileges via local console or equivalent administrative access, enabling local privilege escalation. This vulnerability has been identified by the vendor as: V-2024-010 — Hardcoded Linux Password. NOTE: The patch for this vulnerability is reported to be incomplete: /etc/shadow was remediated but /etc/sudoers remains vulnerable.
