TITLE

Ipswitch WS_FTP Server Manager Vulnerable to read logs

DESCRIPTION

Ipswitch WS_FTP Server Manager before 6.1.1, and possibly other Ipswitch products, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read logs via a logLogout action to FTPLogServer/login.asp followed by a request to FTPLogServer/LogViewer.asp with the localhostnull account name. WS_FTP Server Manager is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability and an information-disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit these issues to gain unauthorized access to the affected application and gain access to potentially sensitive information. These issues affect WS_FTP Server Manager 6.1.0.0; prior versions may also be affected. Ipswitch WS_FTP Server is a highly secure and easy-to-manage file transfer server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released. The new version includes many new and advanced features, which makes it even easier to stay patched.

The security issue is caused due to an error within the WS_FTP Server Manager when processing HTTP requests for the FTPLogServer/LogViewer.asp script. This can be exploited to gain access to the log viewing interface by e.g. logging out and directly accessing the FTPLogServer/LogViewer.asp script. SOLUTION: Restrict access to trusted users only.
