Sitecore’s Password Blunder: Security Flaw Leaves Major Enterprises Exposed!
WatchTowr detected seven vulnerabilities in Sitecore, used by big names like HSBC and United Airlines. The kicker? A hardcoded one-letter password! It’s 2025, and apparently, we’re still living in password kindergarten. If you’re running Sitecore, patch it faster than you can say “remote code execution.”
Hot Take:
Sitecore’s CMS has more holes than Swiss cheese, and it’s not even the good kind! With a default password as secure as a wet paper bag (‘b’), it’s like leaving your front door wide open with a neon sign saying, “Hackers, come on in!” It’s 2025, folks; let’s kick those outdated security practices to the curb before they kick us in the server!
Key Points:
– Seven vulnerabilities were discovered in Sitecore CMS by WatchTowr.
– Three vulnerabilities allow remote code execution (RCE) on Sitecore Experience Platform.
– A hardcoded default password ‘b’ was found in recent Sitecore versions.
– At least 22,000 Sitecore instances are exposed, with possibly more affected.
– Vulnerabilities were patched on May 11, but the public disclosure was delayed until June 17.
