Alcatel OmniPCX Default Passwords Vulnerability

OmniPCX is an enterprise-level Personal Communications Exchange (PCX) system maintained and distributed by Alcatel.

OmniPCX systems do not prompt users to change passwords of various accounts during install. The passwords used for various accounts on the PCX system are known defaults. This problem is further compounded by the fact that a number of services, such as telnet, ftp, and login listen on the system by default. This problem is known to affect OmniPCX 4400 systems, and may affect others as well.

The known passwords are as follows:

llatsni (install)

client (client)
kermit (kermit)
dhs3mt (dhs3mt)
