# Connector security patch advisory - password
Product: Cloudbrink Connector
Release: All
Date: 12 July 2025
#### Summary
JIRA ID
CBOPS-4120
Detected Date
July 10 2025
Fixed Date
July 12 2025
Component
Brink Connector
Severity
Critical
Impact
Administrative access due to default credentials not changed post deployment
Known affected incidents
None
#### Description
Brink Connector component deployed prior to version 12.x or earlier (and later upgraded) contained the default ubuntu account in unlocked state. If the default credentials are not changed by the system administrator, this would allow a user, who has the information about Connector private IP and access to the DMZ network, to login using the default ubuntu account and gain administrative access.
#### Applied Fix
Cloudbrink has disabled the default ubuntu account on all the Connectors deployed by the customers and made the account defunct with immediate effect. There is no impact on the Cloudbrink service to the users due to the applied fix.
#### Customer Action Required
No action is expected by the customers
