      Ability Mail Server Stores Passwords in the Clear
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    <A HREF="http://www.code-crafters.com/abilitymailserver/index.html
    ">Ability Mail Server has "been designed to be small, fast, reliable,
    advanced and very feature rich. This powerful mail server is capable of
    running on both the Internet and a LAN (i.e. for either Internet or
    internal mail systems), bringing professional mail handling at a fraction
    of the normal price". Due to a vulnerability in the product, the usernames
    and passwords are stored by the product in clear text, allowing anyone
    with local access to gather sensitive usernames and passwords.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * Ability Mail Server version 1.09

    Ability Mail Server stores all usernames and passwords in the file
    \Program Files\Code-Crafters\Ability Mail Server\config\accounts.dta in
    clear text. If a malicious user were to gain access to this file, they
    would have a list of all usernames and their associated passwords.
