`Verax NMS Password Disclosure (CVE-2013-1631)  
  
I. BACKGROUND  
----------------------  
Verax NMS provides a service-oriented, unified  
management & monitoring of networks, applications  
and infrastructure enabling quick problem detection,  
root-cause analysis, reporting and automating recovery,  
reducing costs and shortening downtimes of IT service delivery.  
  
Source: http://www.veraxsystems.com/en/products/nms  
  
II. DESCRIPTION  
----------------------  
>From within the Verax NMS Console, users can navigate to  
monitored devices and perform predefined actions (NMSAction),  
such as repairing tables on a MySQL database or restarting  
services. When these actions are initiated, the AMF response  
from the application leaks the plaintext connection details to  
the client and may do so over an unencrypted connection. This  
behavior would allow an unprivileged user to recover sensitive  
connection details for arbitrary services and applications  
monitored by Verax NMS.  
  
III. AFFECTED PRODUCTS  
----------------------  
All versions of Verax NMS prior to 2.1.0 are vulnerable.  
  
IV. RECOMMENDATION  
----------------------  
Users should upgrade to version 2.1.0 of Verax NMS.
