Title: AMLServer Plaintext Password Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Air Messenger LAN Server for Microsoft Windows allows users to exchange phone, pager and email messages through a Web gateway.
User passwords for all of AMLServer's services are stored plaintext in a file called 'pUser.Dat'. Any attacker who can view the contents of this file will see the various username and passwords supported by the system.
Plaintext passwords makes it a trivial task for an attacker to compromise the password protected AMLServer services.
NOTE: Two other vulnerabilities exist in AMLServer which enhance the exploitability of this vulnerability. These are BID 2883 and BID 2881.
Affected Products:
- Internet Software Solutions Air Messenger LAN Server 3.4.2
