What is CVE-2004-2298?

The Novell Internet Messaging System (NIMS) versions 2.6 and 3.0, along with NetMail versions 3.1 and 3.5, are susceptible to a significant security flaw due to the installation of default NMAP authentication credentials. If the system administrator fails to utilize the NMAP Credential Generator to change this default credential, remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to access and manipulate the mail store data, leading to unauthorized operations and potential data breaches.
