Vendor description:
-------------------
WD ShareSpace is high-speed network-attached storage system with capacities up
to 8 TB and a space-saving footprint gives you all the benefits of a big time
data center without the need for a big time IT department. Perfect for
centralizing and sharing data and multimedia files on a small office or home
network.

Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
WD ShareSpace network storage system has a built-in WEB GUI that is used to
administer the ShareSpace device. The built-in WEB GUI is prone to a sensitive
data disclosure due to an improper configuration of access rights of the
configuration file config.xml. By directly accessing the config.xml file
without authentication it is possible to obtain system's configuration data,
which includes network settings, shared folder names, SMB users and hashed
passwords, administrator's credentials, etc.


Proof of concept:
-----------------
The vulnerability is exploited by accessing the config.xml file directly with
a browser.

PoC URL has been removed as no vendor patch is available.


Vulnerable / tested versions:
-----------------------------
WD ShareSpace v2.3.01
