CVE-2002-2170

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

BadBlue Enterprise Edition versions 1.7 through 1.74 attempts to restrict administrator actions to the local host's IP address but does not provide additional authentication. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web page containing an HTTP POST request that accesses the dir.hts page on the localhost and adds an entire hard drive to be shared.

Risk Assessment

The lack of additional authentication poses a risk that remote attackers could gain access to critical system resources, potentially leading to unauthorized data sharing.

Recommendation

It is recommended to implement additional authentication mechanisms and restrict access to administrative functions only to trusted IP addresses.
