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 · unedited
Apache Axis2, as used in dswsbobje.war in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.2, CA ARCserve D2D r15, and other products, has a default password of axis2 for the admin account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a crafted web service.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Axis2 1.6.0 or later; SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.2 with SAP Note 1432881 applied

  1. 1. For Axis2: Upgrade to Apache Axis2 version 1.6.0 or later, where the default admin account password was changed/removed from the default installation
  2. 2. For SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.2: Apply SAP Note 1432881 from https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1432881
  3. 3. As a configuration workaround (if upgrade not immediately possible): Locate the Axis2 user configuration file (users.xml in the WEB-INF directory of the Axis2 webapp) and change the default 'axis2' password to a strong, unique password
  4. 4. After applying the fix, verify that remote administrative access to Axis2 services requires the new credentials
Caveat Axis2 upgrades may require testing web service deployments for compatibility; SAP patch should be tested in non-production first
