Hard-Coded Passwords in Tobit TeamDavid Webbox

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves the use of a hard-coded cryptographic key in Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid's Webbox software. For locally created users, passwords are stored in files using only obfuscation, which is a weak form of protection. Attackers with access to the server's file system or who can extract files can potentially retrieve these passwords.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect the TeamDavid server's file system for locally created user accounts. Check files where passwords might be stored using obfuscation, particularly in TeamDavid through Rollout 524. Look for files with sensitive data in plaintext or weakly obfuscated formats.

Impact Analysis

If you use TeamDavid through Rollout 524, attackers could gain access to user passwords by exploiting this vulnerability. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, account takeovers, or further lateral movement within your network if those passwords are reused elsewhere.

Useful 0 Not Useful 0

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates compliance requirements for data protection and privacy, such as GDPR and HIPAA, due to the exposure of user passwords. It undermines security controls for protecting sensitive personal or health information, potentially leading to regulatory penalties and loss of trust.

Mitigation Strategies

Disable local user creation in Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid's Webbox to prevent passwords from being stored with weak obfuscation. Ensure all passwords are changed for users created locally. Restrict file system access to the server to prevent unauthorized extraction of sensitive files.
