VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13198/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Spy Sweeper Enterprise 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4256/

DESCRIPTION:
Frank Mileto has discovered a vulnerability in Spy Sweeper
Enterprise, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
disclose sensitive information.

The problem is that the administrative password used for overriding
settings from client systems is stored in clear text in a location in
the registry, which is readable by all users. This can be exploited by
retrieving the value of "ap" under the registry key:
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Webroot\Enterprise\Spy Sweeper".

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.5.1.3698. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Change the permissions on the affected key. This may affect
functionality.

Grant only trusted users access to vulnerable systems.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Frank Mileto
