The product initializes or sets a resource with a default configuration that is intended to be changed by an installer, administrator, or maintainer, but the default is not secure. If these insecure defaults remain unchanged, attackers may exploit exposed functionality, bypass security controls, or gain unauthorized access depending on the affected resource.

Remediation

To remediate this vulnerability, systems should be deployed with secure defaults that minimize exposure and restrict unnecessary functionality. Configuration values such as permissions, authentication settings, and network access controls should be explicitly initialized to safe states, and administrators should be required to review and modify security-sensitive defaults during installation or deployment.
