Knox Arkeia server 4.2, and possibly other versions, uses a constant salt when encrypting passwords using the crypt() function, which makes it easier for an attacker to conduct brute force password guessing.

Arkeia Network Backup Client 5.x contains hard-coded credentials that effectively serve as a back door, which allows remote attackers to access the file system and possibly execute arbitrary commands.

The arkeiad daemon in the Arkeia Backup Agent in Western Digital Arkeia 11.0.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands via a series of crafted requests involving the ARKFS_EXEC_CMD operation.
