Plixer International · Scrutinizer Netflow & Sflow Analyzer · CVE-2012-1258
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Plixer International Scrutinizer NetFlow & sFlow Analyzer versions prior to 9.0.1.19899
**Description**
The issue concerns a lack of user permission validation in the cgi-bin/userprefs.cgi component. This allows remote attackers to create new user accounts with administrator privileges by exploiting the `newuser`, `pwd`, and `selectedUserGroup` parameters.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 9.0.1.19899, update to version 9.0.1.19899 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the cgi-bin/userprefs.cgi component to prevent unauthorized account creation.
