Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Barracuda Spam Firewall

CVE-2006-4082

What is CVE-2006-4082?

The Barracuda Spam Firewall, particularly version 3.3.03.053, is affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to the presence of a hardcoded password for the admin account. This vulnerability allows users with access to the localhost (127.0.0.1) to gain elevated privileges, potentially compromising the security of the system. Attackers could exploit this weakness to execute commands at an administrative level, thereby affecting the integrity and confidentiality of the data managed by the firewall.
