Vulnerability Note VU#402731

Original Release Date: 2011-10-27 | Last Revised: 2011-10-27

Overview

Enspire eClient contains a SQL injection vulnerability that could allow an attacker to bypass authentication and access the system with administrative privileges.

Description

The Enspire software suite includes an eClient web front-end which is susceptible to SQL injection attacks. This can be used to perform an authentication bypass or interact with the back-end database. Depending on the configuration this can lead to the compromise of the underlying host itself. Enspire version 7.3.2.7 and eClient version 7.3.2.3 are reported to be affected. Other versions may also be affected.

Impact

An attacker with network access to the Enspire eClient web interface could access the system with administrative privileges and potentially compromise the underlying host.

Solution

We are currently unaware of an available solution to this problem.

Restrict access

Restrict access to the Enspire eClient web interface to trusted users and networks.
