FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. From 15.0.42 to before 16.0.45 and 17.0.7, unauthenticated users may be able to access the User Control Panel (UCP) using hard-coded initial template credentials if these were not immediately changed by the Administrator who enabled UCP. Authenticated access to ACP is required for the initial setup of UCP generic templates, but after that, without further steps by the admin, unauthenticated users may be able to gain access. This vulnerability is fixed in 16.0.45 and 17.0.7.
During the configuration of general UCP templates, the system uses predefined, hard-coded credentials (CWE-798). Although access to the ACP panel is required from an administrator to initially configure the templates, after completion, without additional actions by the administrator, these credentials remain active. An attacker without any privileges can exploit these default, unchanged credentials to log in to UCP over the network without any authentication.
An attacker can gain unauthorized access to the User Control Panel (UCP) of the FreePBX system, which may result in breach of confidentiality and integrity of data available in this panel.
FreePBX should be updated to version 16.0.45 or 17.0.7, in which the vulnerability has been fixed. Until the update is applied, administrators should immediately change the default credentials in UCP templates or disable the UCP feature if it is not required.
