Descriptions

In SolarWinds SFTP/SCP Server through 2018-09-10, the configuration file is world readable and writable, and stores user passwords in an insecure manner, allowing an attacker to determine passwords for potentially privileged accounts. This also grants the attacker an ability to backdoor the server.

En SolarWinds SFTP/SCP Server hasta el 10/09/2018, el archivo de configuración puede ser leído y escrito por cualquier usuario y almacena las contraseñas de los usuarios de forma insegura, lo que permite que un atacante determine contraseñas para las cuentas potencialmente privilegiadas. Esto también otorga al atacante la capacidad de entrar en el servidor mediante una puerta trasera.
