Title: Microsoft FrontPage Extensions .pwd File Permissions Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Unspecified versions of Frontpage extensions for unix have been reported to create a readable (and occasionally writable) file called "services.pwd" which contains encrypted password and account information. These appear to be created in various directories and have been reportedly found by "find / -name service.pwd -print". Addtionally, it is reported that unspecified versions of Frontpage Extensions create a file "/_vti_pvt/administrators.pwd" which often has improper permissions set. This can be retrieved remotely via the URL "http://www.yourhost.com/_vti_pvt/administrators.pwd".
Version information and verification of these issues could not be obtained.
Affected Products:
- Microsoft FrontPage 1.1.0
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 0.0.0
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 Server Extensions for IIS 0.0.0
- Microsoft NT Option Pack for NT 4.0 0.0.0
