Title: NETObserve Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
NETObserve is web-based PC surveillance software that allows a remote user to monitor systems and perform various actions such as executing commands, taking screenshots, collecting keystrokes, etc.
NETObserve is prone to a vulnerability that may permit remote unauthenticated users to access functions of the software. The source of the issue is inadequate access validation. Remote users may submit a specially crafted HTTP header which will bypass authentication and allow the remote attacker to access various functions of the software.
To exploit this issue, the attacker must include the following HTTP header field in the request:
'Cookie: login=0'
Due to the nature of the software, this could permit an attacker to execute commands remotely on an underlying system running the software. This may also expose privileged information about the system and its users. Successful exploitation will result in remote compromise of the system.
