Milestone Systems has discovered a
security vulnerability in Milestone XProtect installer that resets system
configuration password after the upgrading from older versions using specific
installers.
The system configuration
password is an additional, optional protection that is enabled on the
Management Server.
To mitigate the issue, we highly recommend updating system configuration password via GUI with a standard procedure.
Any system upgraded with
2024 R1 or 2024 R2 release installer is vulnerable to this issue.
Systems upgraded from 2023
R3 or older with version 2025 R1 and newer are not affected.
