NeoMail Session Id Validation Vulnerability |
||
|
Checks for session id validation vulnerability in NeoMail Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a Perl application that is affected by an access validation failure. Description : The remote host is running NeoMail, an open-source webmail application written in Perl. The installed version of this software fails to validate the 'sessionid' parameter in the 'neomail-prefs.pl' script as a valid session identifier. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to create or delete arbitrary mail-folder files on the affected host subject to the permissions of the group id under which the affected application operates. Note that successful exploitation requires that '$homedirfolders' and '$homedirspools' both be set to 'no' in NeoMail's configuration.

Network Security Threat Level: Low / CVSS Base Score : 2.3 (AV:R/AC:L/Au:NR/C:N/I:P/A:N/B:N) Networks Security ID: 16651 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2006 Tenable Network Security |
