Title: Snapstream PVS Plaintext Password Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Snapstream Personal Video Station is an application for Microsoft Windows which allows users to record video output on their PC and view it at a later time, locally or via an HTTP interface. The Snapstream PVS web interface runs on port 8129.
The PVS service stores passwords and user information in plaintext format in a file called 'SSD.INI'.
Passwords are not stored seperately from configuration information, so additional information is exposed by 'SSD.INI', such as the location of the base directory for the service.
This would normally only be a local issue but in combination with other known vulnerabilities the file which stores passwords and user information is easily obtained.
Due to the issue discussed as Bugtraq ID 3100, the passwords can be disclosed to remote attackers.
Affected Products:
- Snapstream Personal Video Station 1.2.0 A
