First published: Fri Jan 22 2016(Updated: )
The setUpSubtleUserAccount function in /bin/bw on Harman AMX devices before 2015-10-12 has a hardcoded password for the BlackWidow account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a (1) SSH or (2) HTTP session, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1984.
