Summary
An unauthenticated attacker with access to the local network of the medical office can use known default credentials to gain remote DBA access to the Elefant Firebird database. The data in the database includes patient data and login credentials among other sensitive data. In addition, this enables an attacker to create and overwrite arbitrary files on the server filesystem with the rights of the Firebird database ("NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM").
