Jfrog · Jfrog Artifactory · CVE-2019-17444
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Jfrog Artifactory versions prior to 6.17.0
**Description**
The issue is related to Jfrog Artifactory using default passwords, such as `password`, for administrative accounts and not requiring users to change them. This may allow unauthorized network-based attackers to completely compromise Jfrog Artifactory.
**Recommendations**
For Jfrog Artifactory versions prior to 6.17.0, update to version 6.17.0 or later to resolve the issue.
