Subject: Remote access to NeuSecure/Netcool backend database via web interface credentials leakage
-= DDSi Security Report =-
March 8th, 2006
------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another credentials leak was found in Netcool/NeuSecure Security Information
Management platform which leads to remote backend database access
with administrative privileges by an unauthenticated remote user
Problems :
- Web interface Applet parameters have credentials stored in clear
which allows access to backend database.
- Version information leak.
About NeuSecure:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Netcool/NeuSecure is a security information management (SIM) platform
designed to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and visibility of
security operations and information risk management. The solution
centralizes and stores security data from throughout the enterprise,

Outcome:
-----------------------------------------

Process Server Admin To

Show databases Server Admin To see all
databases with SHOW DATABASES
Shutdown Server Admin To

No privileges - allow connect only
* Also, under Mozilla client applet renders to provide a Help
button which gives out the version
of the NeuSecure product and it's service pack version.
So far IE6 does not display applet in a way to glean this information.
Workaround:
One can change access permissions for user ns in the database
to include only valid hosts to prevent direct backend logins.
Conclusion:
- Vendor needs to validate user session before accessing the applet.
- Vendor should not store credential cleartext.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vendor communication:
Attempt to make the vendor aware of this problem was ignored.
Thanks,
Dimitry Snezhkov.
