ArGoSoft Mail Server Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 2847

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to a flaw that allows for the bypassing of authentication.

Description

The remote host is running the ArGoSoft Mail Server. This version of ArGoSoft is prone to a remote, unauthenticated access flaw. Specifically, as ArGoSoft does not require authentication prior to serving the 'addnew' script, an unauthenticated user can perform administrative tasks. Successful exploitation would lead to the attacker being able to add accounts and escalate their privileges on the remote server.

Solution

Upgrade or patch according to vendor recommendations.
