Sambar Server Insecure Default Protection for User Passwords
Sambar Server is a multi-threaded HTTP server for Microsoft Windows and Unix systems. The default password decryption algorithm employs only a single key, built into the server binary. If the key is recovered, user passwords may be extracted. Compromise of the webserver's passwords could allow a local attacker to compromise the website's design and function, obtain confidential or security-sensitive information which could lead to further compromises of the host.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the default password decryption algorithm is secure and that user passwords are encrypted with a strong encryption algorithm.
