VisNetic WebSite Path Disclosure Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.deerfield.com/download/visnetic_website/> VisNetic Website,
"the first web server developed specifically for Windows, can use almost
any development platform, and includes features that allow web developers
to create powerful, flexible web sites. VisNetic WebSite is a secure
windows-based web server that supports multiple domains, and allows
TLS/SSL secured domains. This web server also includes support for a user
database that can restrict access to content, and is immune to many of the
security issues that may arise with other popular web servers". A
vulnerability in the product allows remote attackers to cause the server
to reveal the path it has been installed under.
DETAILS
Vulnerable systems:
* VisNetic WebSite 3.5, Service release 17
When requesting a certain file from the /_vti_bin/ folder (a folder that
doesn't exist), an error message will be returned. This error message will
reveal the local path of the web folder under which the product has been
installed.
Example:
http://www.somehost.com/_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/
Will return the following error (including the local path of the installed
webpage):
500 Server Error
The server encountered an error and was unable to complete your request.
Message: Empty output from CGI program c:/localpath/_vti_bin/fpcount.exe
Please contact the server administrator at postmaster@somehost.com and
inform them of the time the error occurred, plus anything you know of that
may have caused the error.
As you can see, the data returned by VisNetic Website, includes
information about the local file system.
Solution:
The problem should, according to VisNetic, have been resolved in the
latest build of VisNetic WebSite. The latest version is available on the
VisNetic Website download page.
