CVE-2001-0133

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The web administration interface for Interscan VirusWall 3.6.x and earlier does not use encryption, which could allow remote attackers to obtain the administrator password to sniff the administrator password via the setpasswd.cgi program or other HTTP GET requests that contain base64 encoded usernames and passwords.

Risk Assessment

The lack of encryption in the administration interface poses a risk of credential interception, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Interscan VirusWall that implements encryption and to restrict access to the administration interface to trusted IP addresses.
