Attack surface tests for default credentials

Identify default-credential attack surface tests and their non-invasive login checks.

Attack Surface Testing does not perform authenticated tests; however, we do have attack surface tests focused on the detection of applications that are using manufacturer default credentials. These attack surface tests attempt to log in to specific business operations systems, IT, and networking devices with default credentials, but don't perform any operations if login is successful and will never change the state or configuration of a tested service.

You can identify attack surface tests for default credentials by looking at the test Name field, which typically includes Default Credentials , and the Vulnerability ID field, which uses the prefix DEFAULT-CRED-.
