Title: Computer Associates ARCServe Cleartext Administrative Password Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
ARCServe is an enterprise data backup and recovery solution from Computer Associates.
ARCServe stores its administrator account and password, in cleartext, in \ARCSERVE$\DR\<TARGET_SERVER>\aremote.dmp.
Since the account performing backups is able to access system files, and may be configured to run under the NT domain administrator's account, an attacker able to read this file can gain administrative access to the host.
Affected Products:
- Computer Associates ARCServe 2000 0.0.0
- Computer Associates ARCServe 2000 Advanced Edition 7.0.0
- Computer Associates ARCServe 6.61.0
