VAR-200605-0368

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:32

Ipswitch WhatsUp Professional 2006 only verifies the user's identity via HTTP headers, which allows remote attackers to spoof being a trusted console and bypass authentication by setting HTTP User-Agent header to "Ipswitch/1.0" and the User-Application header to "NmConsole". Ipswitch WhatsUp Professional 2006 is susceptible to a remote authentication-bypass vulnerability. This issue allows remote attackers to gain administrative access to the web-based administrative interface of the application. This will aid them in further network attacks. Whatsup Professional software is a tool developed by Ipswitch to monitor the network status of TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX. What\'\'s Up Professional 2006 has an authentication bypass vulnerability, an attacker can bypass the authentication mechanism and log in without credentials. An attacker can trick the application into believing that the request is coming from the console, which is trusted, by sending HTTP requests with specially crafted headers
