Title: Bindview HackerShield AgentAdmin Password Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
The BindView HackerShield product (originally Netect's HackerShield) creates an NT service account called NetectAgentAdmin$. This account is a member of the local administrators group on an NT host. The service account password is not machine specific, nor is it randomly generated. The password is fourteen characters long and includes non-printable ascii characters, therefore, password cracking tools like L0phtcrack <www.L0pht.com> may not be able to fully display the password.
Using Paul Ashton's LSA secrets code <http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/231.html> against a Service Pack 3 machine with HackerShield installed, it is possible to recover the plaintext password for this account. As this password is the same for every HackerShield installation, an attacker could use this username / password combination to remotely access other NT hosts running the HackerShield product.
Affected Products:
- BindView HackerShield 1.0.0
- BindView HackerShield 1.1.0
