1ProjectDiscoveryHIGHKevinLAB BEMS (Building Energy Management System) - Backdoor AccountCVSS 7.2
KevinLAB BEMS has an undocumented backdoor account, and these sets of credentials are never exposed to the end-user and cannot be changed through any normal operation of the solution through the RMI. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in using the backdoor account with highest privileges for administration and gain full system control. The backdoor user cannot be seen in the users settings in the admin panel, and it also uses an undocumented privilege level (admin_pk=1) which allows full availability of the features that the BEMS is offering remotely.
Impact
Attackers using hardcoded backdoor credentials (kevinlab/kevin003) can gain full administrative access with highest privileges to KevinLAB BEMS, bypassing all authentication mechanisms.
Remediation
Remove the hardcoded backdoor account or upgrade to a patched version of KevinLAB BEMS.
