A vulnerability has been identified in Cisco Application Velocity System (AVS), which could be exploited by remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable device. This issue is caused by a design error in the initial configuration process that does not prompt the administrator to modify system account passwords, which could be exploited by attackers to leverage the accounts that have default credentials, some of which have root privileges, and take full administrative control of the AVS system.
