Title

The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must not be configured with any vendor default accounts, PINs, or passwords to access configuration settings. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints can set or display configuration settings in the instrument itself. This presents a risk if a user obtains information such as the IP addresses and URLs of system components. This obtained information could be used to facilitate an attack on the system. Therefore, these devices should be considered a target to be defended against individuals that would collect voice network information for illicit purposes. To mitigate information gathering by the adversaries, measures must be taken to protect this information.

Check Content
