SecurityvulnsSECURITYVULNS:DOC:4787ICQ 2003a Password Bypass
Software: ICQ 2003a
Threat: Login password can be bypassed locally
I have found a vulnerability in ICQ Pro 2003a that
allows anyone to connect to ICQ server using any
account registered locally regardless the 'save
password' option is checked or not. High level
security password is also bypassed!
How it works?
Simple! You may use EnableWindow API to enable ICQ
contact list window. After enabling the window you can
set your status to online and the UIN will be
connected no matter how high is your security level.
I've coded a proof-of-concept exploit in July, 02 when
I found the vuln.
The exploit is provided "As is" without warranties.
To compile it you will need MASM32.

; This exploit allows you to login to ICQ server
using any account registered locally
; no matter the 'save password' option is checked or
not. High level security is also bypassed.
; All you have to do is run the exploit and set
status property using your mouse when the flower
; is yellow. If you accidentally set status to
offline then you will need to restart ICQ and run
; the exploit again. Greets to: Alex Demchenko(aka
Coban), my cousin Rhenan for testing the exploit
; on his machine and that tiny Israeli company for
starting the whole thing. Oh sure… hehehe
; I can't forget… many kisses to those 3 chicks
from my building for being so hot!! ;)
