Kiwi Syslog Server Web Access Login Username Enumeration

medium Nessus Plugin ID 43154

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a web application that leaks information.

Description

Kiwi Syslog Web Access is installed on the remote host. The installed version responds with different error messages when an user attempts to login with existent and non-existent accounts. A remote unauthenticated attacker may exploit this vulnerability to enumerate valid users for the remote web application.

The installed version is reportedly also affected by a vulnerability that may allow an attacker to read arbitrary local files by registering a new application, although Nessus has not tested for it.
