AMTELCO miSecureMessages Server insecurely authenticates clients

Original Release date: 11 Apr 2014 | Last revised: 18 Apr 2014

Overview

AMTELCO miSecureMessages Server Release 6.2 performs weak authentication for access to user messages (CWE-287).

Description

AMTELCO miSecureMessages Server Release 6.2 performs weak authentication for access to user messages. miSecureMessages authenticates client app XML requests for messaging data using the contact identifier value and a valid license key. The contact identifier is trivial to guess and a license key will be present on a licensed client app.

AMTELCO has provided a vendor statement about this vulnerability.

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to read users' messages by iterating through contact identifier values.

Solution

AMTELCO has addressed this vulnerability in miSecureMessages Server Release 6.3 which is available to all customers (login required).
