Verax NMS Hardcoded Private Key

Verax NMS Hardcoded Private Key
Posted Mar 7, 2013
Authored by Andrew Brooks

In versions prior to 2.1.0 of VeraxNMS, the server-side component eadministratorconsole-core-1.5.2.jar, contains a method named decryptPassword(). This method provides the functionality to decrypt a user's password using an implementation of RSA. Within com.veraxsystems.eadministratorconsole.remote.service.impl, it has been discovered that decryptPassword() uses a static, hardcoded private key to facilitate this process. As a result, these passwords should be considered insecure due to the fact that recovering the private key is decidedly trivial.
