# Homer: Hardcoded Default Admin Password 'sipcapture' With No Forced Change on First Login in github.com/sipcapture/homer-app

Homer, a SIP capture and monitoring web app, ships with a hardcoded default admin password 'sipcapture' and does not force a change on first login. An attacker who knows or guesses this default can log in as an administrator.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- go:github.com/sipcapture/homer-app affected all versions fixed ?

## How to check

Try logging into the Homer web UI with username admin and password sipcapture, or check whether the default credentials were ever changed in the deployment's configuration.

## Fix

Upgrade github.com/sipcapture/homer-app to v0.0.0-20260625091610-b2e942031ff8 or later, then change the admin password on every existing deployment.
