      "value": "A vulnerability in the configuration of a local database installed as part of the Cisco Energy Management Suite (CEMS) could allow an authenticated, local attacker to access and alter confidential data. The vulnerability is due to the installation of the PostgreSQL database with unchanged default access credentials. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to the machine where CEMS is installed and establishing a local connection to the database. The fix for this vulnerability randomizes the database access password in new installations; however, the fix will not change the password for existing installations. Users are required to manually change the password, as documented in the Workarounds section of this advisory. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability."

      "value": "Una vulnerabilidad en la configuración de la base de datos local instalada como parte de Cisco Energy Management Suite (CEMS) podría permitir que un atacante local autenticado acceda y altere datos confidenciales. La vulnerabilidad se debe a la instalación de la base de datos PostgreSQL con credenciales de acceso por defecto no modificadas. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad iniciando sesión en una máquina en la que CEMS está instalado y estableciendo una conexión local a la base de datos. La solución para la vulnerabilidad aleatoriza la contraseña de acceso a la base de datos en las nuevas instalaciones; sin embargo, esta solución no cambia la contraseña en las instalaciones ya existentes. Se requiere que los usuarios cambien la contraseña de forma manual, tal y como está documentado en la sección \"Workarounds\" de este aviso. Existen alternativas que abordan esta vulnerabilidad."
