Title: Absolute Form Processor XE 'userid' Parameter Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Absolute Form Processor XE is a web-based script used for managing forms. It is implemented in ASP.

The application is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability because it fails to adequately verify user-supplied input used for authentication. Attackers may gain administrative access to the application by setting the 'userid' cookie parameter to '1' and requesting 'menu.asp', or by setting the 'userid' CGI parameter to '1' and requesting 'edituser.asp'.

Successful exploits may aid in further attacks.

Absolute Form Processor XE 1.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • XIGLA SOFTWARE Absolute Form Processor XE 1.5
