Title: Digi-Net Technologies DigiChat User IP Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
DigiChat is a web based chat application maintained by Digi-Net. DigiChat runs on most Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms.
It is possible for chat users to obtain sensitive information about other chat visitors.
By design, only ChatMasters are able to resolve the IP address of visiting chat users. However, it is reportedly possible for users to obtain the IP address of chat visitors by including '<Param Name="Showip"Value="True">' in the chat applet. As a result, IP address information is disclosed when viewing the information details of visitors.
An attacker may exploit this flaw to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information about site users.
This issue has been reported in DigiChat 3.5, however other versions may also be affected by this.
Affected Products:
- Digi-Net Technologies DigiChat 3.5.0
