Credentials

Vendor: Beehive Software

Affected File: http://<host>/sfcommon/SendFile.jar

Workaround:
The simplest way to protect against this attack is to block access to 
unnecessary services (e.g FTP) from the internet. 

Description:
Within the outboxWriteUnsent() function of the FTPThread.class file of 
SendFile.jar the following lines reveal a hardcoded username and password which 
can be used to login to the FTP Server. Most servers disallow direct 
communication to the appliance from the internet however threats from the 
internal network still exist. 

SendFile.jar:

------------<snip>------------
URL url1 = new URL(url.getProtocol() + "://" + url.getHost() +
"/s.ftp?command=putfile&user=sfoutbox&pass=sfoutbox&dir=" + mAcctID +
"/" + FTPStream.escapePathName(mUser) + "&createdir=1&file=" +
mOutboxTime + ".unsent.html");
------------</snip>------------

And 

------------<snip>------------
ftpstream = new FTPStream(mApplet.getDocumentBase().getHost(),
"sfoutbox", "sfoutbox", true, false, mProgressWindow, false, mProxyIP,
mProxyPort, mProxyUser, mProxyPass);
------------</snip>------------
