Description

By default, Eventum installs with an enabled default administrator account which is not documented. The 'system-account@example.com' account has an unknown password, but allows attackers who know this password to trivially access the Eventum system.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Authentication Management
Impact: Loss of Confidentiality, Loss of Integrity, Loss of Availability
Exploit: Exploit Unknown
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Technical

The schema.sql file, loaded upon Eventum setup, contains the account 'system-account@example.com' with the MD5 hash of '14589714398751513457adf349173434'.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.4 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. It is also possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround: change the system-account@example.com's password in the database, or setting the account to inactive, which will alleviate the problem and should leave Eventum functioning.
