In short

A hardcoded username and password in UniData and UniVerse databases allow attackers to bypass login security and run commands with root privileges, completely compromising the system.

Technical detail

CWE-798 hardcoded credentials vulnerability in the udadmin service permits unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication using a predetermined username-password pair and execute arbitrary OS commands with root-level privileges. Affected versions are UniData <8.2.4 build 3003 and UniVerse <11.3.5 build 1001 or <12.2.1 build 2002.
