Insecure initial password configuration issue in SEIKO EPSON Web Config allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to set an arbitrary password and operate the device with an administrative privilege.

Web Config is software that allows users to check the status and change the settings of SEIKO EPSON products, e.g., printers and scanners, via a web browser. In the initial setting no administrative password is set, and when a user connects the device and configures Web Config settings for the first time, the user is requested to set the password. Therefore, when a product is connected to network without the Web Config settings configured, arbitrary password may be set and the device may be operated with an administrative privilege by an attacker (CWE-1188). George Puckett reported this vulnerability to CERT/CC. Requested by CERT/CC, JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer.
