CVE-2009-1465
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedApplication Access Server (A-A-S) 2.0.48 has "wildbat" as its default password for the admin account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceApplication Access Server (A-A-S) version 2.0.48 ships with a hardcoded default password 'wildbat' for the administrative account, allowing remote attackers to authenticate as administrators without credentials knowledge.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Application Access Server is installedCheck system for Klinzmann Application Access Server installation, typically in Program Files or application directory. Look for executable or service named 'Application Access Server' or 'AAS'.Affected if Product is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionLocate version information in the application directory, typically in an 'about' dialog, version file, or executable properties. Common locations: help menu, README file, or right-click on the main executable.Affected if Version is 2.0.48
-
Verify if remote administrative access is enabledCheck application configuration files or admin interface settings for remote access configuration. Look for settings that allow admin access from non-localhost addresses.Affected if Remote admin access is enabled and the interface is reachable over network
-
Confirm if default password is still in useAttempt to authenticate to the admin interface using the default credentials (username: admin, password: wildbat) or check the admin account configuration for password status.Affected if Authentication succeeds with default password 'wildbat' or password remains at factory default
User is affected if Klinzmann Application Access Server version 2.0.48 is installed with remote admin access enabled and the default password 'wildbat' has not been changed.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImmediately change the default 'wildbat' password to a strong, unique password; restrict admin access to trusted IP addresses or disable remote admin access if not required; implement account lockout and monitoring for brute-force attempts.
