      "value": "UltraVNC repeater through 1.8.2.2 initializes the HTTP administration server with a hardcoded default password. In repeater/webgui/settings.c:197, when settings2.txt is absent on first run the repeater writes the literal string \"adminadmi2\" as the admin password via strcpy_s(saved_password, 64, \"adminadmi2\"). The HTTP Basic-auth handler wi_decode_auth() checks this password without rate-limiting or lockout. Any remote attacker who can reach the repeater HTTP port (default TCP 80) can authenticate as administrator using the well-known default credential on a fresh or unmodified installation, gaining full control of the repeater configuration including allow/deny rules and session visibility."

      "value": "El repetidor UltraVNC hasta la versión 1.8.2.2 inicializa el servidor de administración HTTP con una contraseña predeterminada codificada de forma rígida. En repeater/webgui/settings.c:197, cuando settings2.txt está ausente en la primera ejecución, el repetidor escribe la cadena literal ’adminadmi2’ como la contraseña de administrador a través de strcpy_s(saved_password, 64, ’adminadmi2’). El gestor de autenticación básica HTTP wi_decode_auth() verifica esta contraseña sin limitación de velocidad ni bloqueo. Cualquier atacante remoto que pueda alcanzar el puerto HTTP del repetidor (TCP 80 predeterminado) puede autenticarse como administrador utilizando la credencial predeterminada bien conocida en una instalación nueva o sin modificar, obteniendo control total de la configuración del repetidor, incluyendo reglas de permitir/denegar y visibilidad de sesión."
