Title: SafeWord RemoteAccess Local Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

SafeWord RemoteAccess is an authentication tool used to generate and store pass codes; it is available for Microsoft Windows.

SafeWord RemoteAccess is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because it stores sensitive data with insecure permissions. Specifically, a local user can access the following files:

[application_directory]\SERVERS\Web\Tomcat\usercenter\WEB-INF\login.conf
[application_directory]\SERVERS\Shared\signers.cfg

These files contain the encryption and signing keys for the User Center webportal password and database.

A malicious local user could leverage this issue to obtain sensitive information that could aid in attacks against the system.

Version 2.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Secure Computing SafeWord RemoteAccess 2.1
