Title: 12Planet Chat Server Administration Page Clear Text Authentication Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

12Planet Chat Server is web forum software that runs on Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and HP UNIX.

The login page of the administration site for the chat server sends usernames and passwords in clear text. This could allow a remote attacker to sniff the administrator's authentication information.

The interface that allows the administrator to change their passwords also transmits the new password in clear text.

Affected Products:

  • 12Planet Chat Server 2.5.0
