An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-0506 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2000. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0506/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0506/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0506","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0506/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0506","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p477-22hv-c2xc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows NT OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain unauthorized access to Windows NT systems by exploiting accounts with default, null, or blank passwords.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_nt","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A Windows NT domain user or administrator account has a default, null, blank, or missing password.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":3,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/mssql/mssql_login","stars":null,"title":"MSSQL Login Utility"},{"date":null,"kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_login","stars":null,"title":"SMB Login Check Scanner"},{"date":null,"kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/vnc/vnc_login","stars":null,"title":"VNC Authentication Scanner"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0506","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2000","products":["microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_nt"],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0507"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0505"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-02-04","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2008-4250","kev_date_added":"2026-05-20","published":"2008-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Exception Handler","id":"CVE-2010-0232","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2010-01-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2009-1123","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2009-06-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2002-0367","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3677","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain unauthorized access to Windows NT systems by exploiting accounts with default, null, or blank passwords.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0506/"}
