H-Sphere Information Disclosure Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <https://www.psoft.net> H-Sphere is a scalable multiserver web hosting
solution. It has many advanced features and a sophisticated billing system
to automate and improve your web hosting tasks."
The H-Sphere places the username and password of the administrator in a
locally readable log file, a local attacker can learn this username and
password password and gain full access to the H-Sphere system.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* H-Sphere version 2.4.2 Patch 4
* H-Sphere version 2.4.3 RC 1
While performing administration duties for domain management, H-Sphere
writes log information containing domain information and user/password
combinations.
C:\HSphere.NET\log
action.log <--- stores user/pass
resources.log <--- stores user/pass
Proof of Concept:
[0/00/2005 0:00:00 AM] Thread: 0000; Requested method "account.update"
with parameters resourcename=account, username=theuser,
password=thepassword
On windows machines running H-Sphere, the default installation does not
restrict permissions to this folder, allowing less privileged users to
read account information.
Vendor Status:
The vendor has released a patch at:
