Title: Mimicboard2 Mimic2.Dat Unauthorized Access Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Mimicboard2 is web-log software implemented in Perl.
Mimicboard2 is affected by an unauthorized-access vulnerability because the application fails to perform any user authentication before allowing users to access privileged information.
The application stores sensitive information (including referrer IP addresses, message content and passwords, and the hash of the administrator password) in 'mimic2.dat'. The problem is that this file is world-readable and remotely accessible.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to retrieve user information and the DES-encrypted administrator password.
