otherCHANGEME↗
  • →Detect pcsd daemon deployments using the default 'hacluster' account with the hardcoded password 'CHANGEME', which indicates an unpatched or misconfigured HA environment vulnerable to remote shell command execution. ↗
  • →Audit puppet manifests (specifically pacemaker module params.pp and corosync.pp) for the presence of the default hacluster_pwd value 'CHANGEME' to identify unpatched deployments. ↗
  • →Monitor for remote authentication attempts to the pcsd daemon using the credential pair hacluster:CHANGEME, which would indicate active exploitation of this vulnerability. ↗
  • ·The default password 'CHANGEME' for the hacluster account is set in the puppet-pacemaker module's params.pp and is intended to be overridden by the consuming puppet manifest via the hacluster_pwd parameter, but affected versions of openstack-puppet-modules failed to do so. ↗
  • ·Any system deployed using the affected openstack-puppet-modules package (before 2014.2.13-2) in an HA environment should be treated as potentially compromised if the hacluster password was never changed from 'CHANGEME'. ↗
