Trustwave WebDefend Static Database Password Vulnerability

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
1. Summary:

A static database username and password has been identified in Trustwave’s Security’s WebDefend Enterprise Console product. The information could potentially allow a remote attacker access to the database located on the WebDefend appliance.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
2. Description:

When the console software requests data from the appliance it sends SQL queries over port 3306 to a MySQL database located on the appliance. This database is used for tracking web vulnerabilities in a web site(s). The static database username and password has been located in several of the console software’s EXE and DLL files. Once the username and password is known, it can then be leveraged to retrieved data using a MySQL client, therefore subverting any sort of authentication the console software requires to access the data.

The static username and password is located in the files listed below:

WebDefend Enterprise Manager Appliance / Console software v5.0 (7.01.903)

gstdlibdll.dll

WebDefend Enterprise Manager Appliance / Console software v4.0 (6.45.659)
