Paros: default administrator password

Package(s):paros CVE #(s):CVE-2005-3280
Created:January 30, 2006 Updated:February 1, 2006
Description: Andrew Christensen discovered that in older versions of Paros the database component HSQLDB is installed with an empty password for the database administrator "sa". Since the database listens globally by default, an attacker can connect and issue arbitrary commands, including execution of binaries installed on the host.
