Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

NeuVector versions up to and including 5.4.5 use a fixed string as the default password for the built-in admin account. Any workload with network access inside the cluster can use that default password, if it was not changed after deployment, to get an authentication token and perform any operation through the NeuVector APIs. Upgrade to version 5.4.6 or later, and change the default admin password right after deployment or upgrade.
