CVE-2005-2188
HighSummary
The vulnerability in the McAfee IntruShield Security Management System involves obtaining the user ID from the URL, allowing remote attackers to guess the Manager account and potentially gain unauthorized privileges through a brute force attack.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves the possibility of an attacker taking over the Manager account, which could lead to full compromise of the security management system and access to sensitive data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update the McAfee IntruShield system to a version that does not expose the user ID in the URL, and implement mechanisms to limit brute force attempts, such as account lockout after several failed logins.
