Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Inter7 vpopmail versions 4.10.35 and earlier

Description The issue allows local users to obtain the MySQL username and password by inspecting the vpopmail programs that use the libvpopmail.a library, which compiles authentication information in cleartext when using the MySQL module.

Recommendations For Inter7 vpopmail versions 4.10.35 and earlier, consider restricting access to the libvpopmail.a library to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the MySQL module until a patch is available.
