Rapid 7 Advisory R7-0002: Alchemy Eye Remote Unauthenticated Log Viewing
Published: November 30, 2001
Revision: 1.0
CVE ID: CAN-2001-0870
Bugtraq ID: 3598
1. Affected system(s):
KNOWN VULNERABLE:
o Alchemy Eye and Alchemy Network Monitor v1.9x through v2.6.18
Apparently NOT VULNERABLE:
o Alchemy Eye v2.6.19 and greater (web access disabled by default)
o Alchemy Eye v1.7 (has no web access feature)
o Alchemy Eye v1.8 (has no web access feature)
2. Summary
Alchemy Eye and Alchemy Network Monitor are network management
tools for Microsoft Windows. The product contains a built-in HTTP
server for remote monitoring and control. This HTTP server is
enabled by default in vulnerable versions of the software,
requiring no authentication.
The HTTP feature allows remote users to view the network monitoring
logs. These logs can contain internal IP addresses and other
information about your network (depending on what monitoring you've
set up).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned
the identifier CAN-2001-0870 to this issue. This is a candidate for
inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes
names for security problems.
Bugtraq has assigned the identifier 3598 to this vulnerability.

3. Vendor status and information
Alchemy Eye
Alchemy Labs, Inc.
http://www.alchemy-lab.com/products/eye/
Alchemy Network Monitor
DEK Software, Inc.
http://www.deksoftware.com/alchemy/
Vendors notified 7/25/2001. HTTP is disabled by default
starting with version 2.6.19, released in early August 2001.
4. Solution
If you are using any of the vulnerable versions, we suggest the
following:
(a) Disable HTTP access completely via Preferences. You must
restart the product for this to take effect.
or, (b) Require HTTP authentication via Preferences. You must
restart the product for this to take effect. This is only possible
with versions 2.6.x and later (earlier versions have no
authentication option).
(c) Lock down the ACLs of the directory where you installed
the product. The username and password for HTTP authentication
are stored in cleartext in the file eye.ini.
5. Detailed analysis
Vulnerable versions install by default with web access enabled. This
allows remote users to view the logs. The product stores all its
settings in a file called eye.ini.
If you choose to enable HTTP and require authentication, the eye.ini
file will contain the following section:
[Web settings]
Port to listen=80
Allow web access=1
Login=webuser
Password=webpass
Where "webuser" is the username and "webpass" is the cleartext
password.
