CVSS v3 8.8
ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low skill level to exploit/vulnerability details have been publicly disclosed
**Vendor:**IDenticard
Equipment: PremiSys
Vulnerabilities: Use of Hard-coded Credentials, Use of Hard-coded Password, Inadequate Encryption Strength
This updated advisory is a follow-up to the original advisory titled ICSA-19-031-02 IDenticard PremiSys that was published January 31, 2019, on the NCCIC/ICS-CERT website.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to view sensitive information via backups, obtain access to credentials, and/or obtain full access to the system with admin privileges.
The following versions of IDenticard PremiSys, an access control system, are affected:
--------- Begin Update A Part 1 of 2 ---------
CVE-2019-3906 was resolved in Version 4.1
--------- End Update A Part 1 of 2 ---------
The system contains hard-coded credentials that allow admin access to the entire service via the PremiSys WCF Service endpoint, which may allow complete control with admin privileges.
CVE-2019-3906 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The system stores user credentials and other sensitive information with a known weak encryption method, which may allow decryption and exposure of sensitive data.
CVE-2019-3907 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
The system stores backup files as encrypted zip files. The password to the zip is hard-coded and unchangeable, which may allow access to the information they contain.
CVE-2019-3908 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
