Background
-----------------

The product employs a portion of legacy code as referenced in the original
post. This is used for the product key and some database entries but whilst
the strength of the encryption being used here may be a problem for the NNT
licensing team, there is no genuine security risk for device data. This
portion of code has subsequently been replaced in Versions 5 and patches are
available from www.nntws.com

Change Tracker works on the principle of layered, multi-dimensional security
in line with the PCI DSS that it is commonly used to underpin. The secure
commissioning process should include standard lockdown and
access-restriction procedures for the Change Tracker server and database
server used for device and configuration data storage. Access security
should also  be complemented with monitoring using a SIEM solution such as
NNT Log Tracker, so any access to the Change Tracker server, the Change
Tracker console program or the database will be logged and alerted as
unusual activity. 

NNT take security of our customer systems extremely seriously. Anyone with
any concerns regarding best practise in Production System security should
contact us for further assistance. 

Regarding any vulnerabilities discovered by independent security researchers
in the future, we would prefer these are reported to us at support@...ws.com
before being published. This was not the case in this instance, delaying our
opportunity to respond. Thank you.
