Device Misconfiguration
Device Misconfiguration:
Device misconfiguration refers to the improper setup or arrangement of settings on hardware devices or software applications within a computer network or system. Misconfigurations can occur at various levels, including operating systems, network devices, servers, databases, and applications. Such errors can result from human mistakes, lack of awareness, or the complexity of system configurations.
Common examples of device misconfiguration include:
Insecure Default Settings: Failing to change default usernames and passwords on devices or applications, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Access Control Issues: Incorrectly configured access controls may allow unauthorized users or systems to access sensitive data or functionalities.
Unnecessary Services and Ports: Running unnecessary services or open ports on a device increases the attack surface and potential vulnerabilities.
