Title: Frederic Tyndiuk Eupload Plain Text Password Storage Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Frederic Tyndiuk Eupload is a small script designed to facilitate uploading of files to a remote server. It is written in Perl and should work with Microsoft Windows and Linux and Unix variant operating systems.
A problem with Eupload 1.0 may make it possible for remote attackers to gain access to sensitive information.
Eupload does not cryptographically protect stored passwords. Passwords contained in the configuration file, password.txt, are stored in plain text. They may be read by simply viewing the file. The file, password.txt, is stored in a web accessible location and is, itself, accessible for retrieval. Thus it is trivial for an attacker to obtain user passwords and abuse the Eupload service.
This problem could allow an attacker to gain access to the passwords to protected resources.
Affected Products:
- Frederic Tyndiuk Eupload 1.0.0
