TITLE:
Easy Chat Server Information Disclosure Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22739

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22739/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Easy Chat Server 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/12503/

DESCRIPTION:
Greg Linares has discovered a security issue in Easy Chat Server,
which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of
sensitive information.

The problem is that the proper permissions are not properly set on
the web root of Easy Chat Server. This can be exploited to reveal
sensitive information by directly accessing the files stored in the
web root via a web browser.

Example:
http://[host]/ServerKey.pem
http://[host]/AcceptIP.txt

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker has knowledge of
the file names located in the web root.

The security issue is confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant access to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Greg Linares
