Summary
AxxonSoft Axxon One before 3.0.0 on Windows and Linux uses default credentials in its web client (CWE-1393). The web client does not require the built-in administrator to change the default password on first login. A remote unauthenticated attacker can log in as the administrator with the default credentials on a newly installed system.

Description from the CNA
Use of Default Password (CWE-1393) in the web client in AxxonSoft Axxon One before 3.0.0 on Windows and Linux allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to log in as the built-in administrator with the default credentials on a newly installed system, because the web client did not enforce the mandatory change of the default password on first login.
