FR-AI / ANALYSIS

Why it is worth attention

It systematically documents credential defaults and exposure patterns, enabling security engineers to quickly check and validate credential surfaces across many products, reducing the attack surface from default or weak credentials.

Who it is for

  • Security engineers
  • Penetration testers
  • DevOps/SRE teams
  • Product security teams

Use cases

  • Auditing default credentials during deployment
  • Validating credential exposure in cloud/SaaS configurations
  • Building security checklists for hardening guides
  • Researching credential patterns for vulnerability assessments

Strengths

  • Community-driven and open source (CC BY 4.0)
  • Structured YAML format with machine-readable entries
  • Covers diverse categories (monitoring, cloud, etc.) with references to official docs and advisories
  • Includes both static defaults and generated credentials with location patterns

Considerations

  • Coverage depends on community contributions and may not include all products
  • Entries rely on publicly available information and may not capture all undocumented behaviors
  • Does not include live leaked credentials or breach data (by design)

LOLCreds Data

This repository contains the YAML data entries for LOLCreds - Living Off the Land Credentials.

LOLCreds is a catalog of public credential defaults, credential locations, and exposure patterns for real products, SaaS/cloud services, appliances, and deployment packages.

The goal is to make product credential surfaces easier to check, understand, validate, explain, and fix.

Structure

Each product is described as a YAML file under entries/.

Example:

entries/adobe-experience-manager.yaml

Each entry may describe:

  • known defaults;
  • static default or generated credentials;
  • undocumented credential behaviors linked to public advisories;
  • credential locations;
  • exposure patterns;
  • what credentials look like;
  • what they can unlock;
  • public references.

Example entry

id: grafana
name: Grafana
category: monitoring
vendor: Grafana Labs
author: haxxm0nkey

credentials:

  - id: default-admin
    name: Default Admin Login
    description: >
      Grafana ships with a default admin user for first sign-in. Grafana
      documents the default username and password as admin/admin unless
      changed through configuration or packaging.
    type: username_password
    nature: [static_default]
    sensitivity: secret
    default:
      username: admin
      password: admin
    location:
      - type: public_interface
        path: /login
        detail: Grafana web UI, default port 3000
      - type: config_file
        path: grafana.ini
        detail: '[security] admin_user and admin_password override defaults'
      - type: environment
        path: GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER, GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD
      - type: secret_store
        detail: Helm/Kubernetes Secrets, Docker secrets, CI/CD variables
    notes: >
      The first-login password-change prompt is not a substitute for changing
      the default before exposure. Admin access can read dashboards, data
      source configuration, and other stored integration secrets.

  - id: kube-prometheus-stack-admin
    name: kube-prometheus-stack Default Admin
    description: >
      The kube-prometheus-stack Helm chart deploys Grafana with a chart-level
      admin password override commonly set to prom-operator.
    type: username_password
    nature: [static_default]
    sensitivity: secret
    default:
      username: admin
      password
