Title: iBill Management Script Weak Hard-Coded Password Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

iBill is an Internet billing company that provides secure payment processing for e-commerce.

A vulnerability exists in iBill's CGI password management script called ibillpm.pl. The password used for this script is weak and hard-coded into the script.

By default, the password is the client's MASTER_ACCOUNT name plus two lower case letters. The MASTER_ACCOUNT name can be determined by viewing the HTML source of the site's sign-up pages.

This would allow an attacker to only have to guess the last two lower case letters in order to determine the password.

Affected Products:

  • iBill Internet Billing Company Processing Plus
