DESCRIPTION:
If you install the CTI applicaton "Auerswald
COMsuite CTI Control Center" a user "runasositron"
is created. The user's password is known by SySS and
very easy to guess (using L0phtCrack for example).
IMPACT: This account can be used locally and remotely to
access the Windows PC on which COMsuite is installed.
WORKAROUND: Deactivate the user. CTI still works.
VENDOR STATUS: Auerswald has been contacted on April 15th 2003.
Auerswald told me that deactivating the
account might disable fax/voice mail if nobody
is logged on.
