Description:
It has been reported that Sphera HostingDirector is vulnerable to multiple issues possibly allowing users to gain system access.
It is possible to conduct Cross Site Scripting due to a lack of input validation of parameters in multiple scripts.
Authentication information may be exposed due to the use of HTTP and weak DES16 encryption.
Certain scripts do not validate input used when executing external programs. This allows execution of arbitrary commands.
Buffer overruns has also been reported to exist but no details has been released about this.
The vulnerabilities have been reported to affect version 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x.
Solution:
Disallow access to the system, until an update is available.
We recommend that you do not use this software, until these issues have been fixed. The nature of the software and the vulnerabilities makes it extremely difficult to protect with alternative measures.
