Phpgroupware · Phpgroupware · CVE-2004-2578
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
phpGroupWare versions prior to 0.9.16.002
**Description**
The issue concerns the transmission of sensitive information in plaintext. Specifically, the `header admin` and `setup passwords` are sent via cookies without encryption, allowing remote attackers to intercept these passwords through sniffing.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.9.16.002, update to version 0.9.16.002 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the application to minimize the risk of password interception. Avoid using the application over unsecured networks until the update is applied.
