Title: FloosieTek FTGatePro Mail Server User Enumeration Weakness

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

FloosieTek FTGatePro Mail Server leaks information that may allow remote attackers to enumerate mail server users. The software is reported to return different responses based on whether or not a username is valid during authentication.

For example, the following response occurs when a username is not valid:

user InValid

-ERR InValid doesn't get mail here <==

On the other hand, the server returns the following when a username is valid:

user user1

+OK user1 gets mail here <==

This information is useful if an attacker is attempting to brute-force mail server user accounts, as it is possible to determine which users are valid.

Affected Products:

  • Floosietek FTGatePro 1.22.0(1331)
