Verax NMS Password Replay Attack

`Verax NMS Password Replay Attack (CVE-2013-1351)  
  
I. BACKGROUND  
----------------------  
Verax NMS provides a service-oriented, unified  
management & monitoring of networks, applications

reducing costs and shortening downtimes of IT service delivery.

II. DESCRIPTION  
----------------------  
The primary client-side UI component of Verax NMS is a  
flash component named clientMain.swf. In addition to  
the Flash UI, Verax NMS uses AMF remoting for client/server  
communications.  
  
As part of the login process, when a user logs in to the  
application, two parameters (username and password) are passed to  
the authenticateUser operation, which is part of the userService  
destination. Before this information is sent to the server, the  
password is encrypted client-side using an implementation of RSA.  
Due to the fact that the private and public keys are hardcoded into  
clientMain.swf the encrypted password could be captured and replayed  
against the service by an attacker.  
  
III. AFFECTED PRODUCTS  
----------------------  
All versions of Verax NMS prior to 2.1.0 are vulnerable.
