TITLE:
Globe7 Weak Password Encryption

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27400

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27400/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Globe7 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/16320/

DESCRIPTION:
Sipera VIPER Lab has discovered a weakness in Globe7, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive
information.

The weakness is caused due to Globe7 incorrectly storing user
credentials locally using a weak encryption algorithm. This can be
exploited to gain access to the stored Globe7 account.

Successful exploitation requires access to the local password file.

The weakness is confirmed in version 7.3. Other versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not store your user id and password.
