Title: Mollensoft Enceladus Server Suite HTACCESS File Access Weakness

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Enceladus Server Suite is a commercially available HTTP and FTP server distributed by Mollensoft Software. It is available for the Microsoft Windows platform.

A problem in the software may expose potentially sensitive information.

It has been reported that Enceladus Server Suite does not securely store certain user credentials. This may allow users, who are authorized to access the "Security File Downloads" directory, to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

Specifically, an htaccess file is stored without access restrictions, making it exposable to users who can access the directory. This specific htaccess file contains all credentials of users who have access to the specific directory.

Access to this information may aid an attacker in launching further attacks against a target user or the server.

Affected Products:

  • Mollensoft Software Enceladus Server Suite 2.6.1
  • Mollensoft Software Enceladus Server Suite 3.9.0
  • Mollensoft Software Enceladus Server Suite 3.9.11
