Vulnerable systems:
* PrimeBase SQL Database Server version 4.2
From the readme.txt file:
"The admin server will require you to enter your password in a text file called 'password.adm' (in the server folder), before you can continue.
NOTE: This is the password for access to the Admin Server only."
Depending on your umask settings (default 022 for root) the "Admin Server" password maybe readable by local users. Further, the password is not stored as a hash or encrypted. A malicious user could use this password to access the web based administration server and compromise the system.
The database also comes with a default "Administrator" accounts with no password. The documentation does recommend the installer set the Administrator password during installation.
