Apache-SSL has a default password
| apachessl-default-password (15065) |  Medium Risk |

Apache-SSL contains a default password. If Apache-SSL is configured with the SSLFakeBasicAuth directive, which uses the one-line certificate name to simulate user logons and the certificate verification type for client authentication, set by the SSLVerifyClient directive, is '1' or '3', a remote attacker could send a certificate with a valid one-line certificate name and use the default password to gain unauthorized access to the server.

- Apache-SSL, Apache-SSL 1.3.28_1.52 and prior
