0x02 : Vulnerability Details

1. By default, IMail allows Internet Guest Account to have "Full Control" to the following registry key,
including its subkeys and values. As well as the default IMail directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail
C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\IMail\

2. The IMail password decryption algorithm implemented in IMailsec.dll is also reversible.

##########################################################################
# Ipswitch IMail Server - IMAP4 Server (IMail 11.01) Password Decryptor
# Tested on: Windows XP SP3 (Windows version does not matter)
# Description:
# So I reverse engineered the IMail password decryption function in
# IMailsec.dll, located at 0x00563130.
#
# In order to decrypt correctly, you must have the correct username,
# because it is used as a key.
#
# All usernames and passwords are stored in registry, which can be
# found at:
# HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\[domain name]\Users
# Every registry key under "Users" has a string value named "Password",
# in there you'll find the encrypted password.
#
# By default, Internet Guest Account is granted with "Full Control" to
# the IMail registry, and its directory. That means if an attacker
# manages to gain code execution (ie.via a web app bug), IMail can be
# his/her next playground. And IMail users may not be safe.
#
