DescriptionCVE.org

The database account and password are hardcoded, allowing login with the account to manipulate the database in MagicInfo9 Server.This issue affects MagicINFO 9 Server: less than 21.1090.1.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

MagicInfo9 Server instances running versions below 21.1090.1 contain hardcoded database credentials that allow unauthorized users to directly access and manipulate critical database systems without authentication. This affects any organization using MagicInfo9 for digital signage or content management, potentially enabling data theft, system compromise, or operational disruption.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to restrict database port access (typically 1433/3306) to authorized applications only; deploy WAF rules to block unauthorized database connection attempts; disable remote database access if not operationally required; enforce strict firewall rules limiting database server accessibility; implement database activity monitoring (DAM) to detect and alert on unauthorized queries; consider air-gapping affected systems until patch is available; change database passwords regularly as interim measure (acknowledging hardcoded credentials limit effectiveness).
