Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves Tyler Identity Local (TID-L) using documented, default administrative credentials that users are not required to change before deployment.

Because these default credentials are well-known and remain unchanged, attackers can potentially gain unauthorized administrative access to the system.

Additionally, TID-L has not been distributed since December 2020 and has not been supported since 2021.

Impact Analysis

The use of default administrative credentials can allow attackers to gain full administrative access without needing to bypass authentication.

This can lead to unauthorized control over the affected system, potentially resulting in data breaches, system manipulation, or disruption of services.

Given the high CVSS scores (9.3 v4.0 and 9.8 v3.1), the impact is severe, indicating critical confidentiality, integrity, and availability risks.

Mitigation Strategies

The vulnerability arises because Tyler Identity Local (TID-L) uses documented, default administrative credentials that users are not required to change before deployment.

Immediate mitigation steps include changing the default administrative credentials before deploying the system to prevent unauthorized access.

Additionally, since TID-L has not been distributed since December 2020 and is no longer supported since 2021, consider discontinuing its use and migrating to supported and secure alternatives.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability involves the use of documented, default administrative credentials that are not required to be changed before deployment. Such a security weakness can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data.

Failure to change default credentials and the resulting potential for unauthorized access can negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, which mandate appropriate access controls and protection of sensitive data.
