Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server version 5.0
Description
The issue concerns the "hit-highlighting" functionality in webhits.dll, which only uses Windows NT ACL configuration. This allows remote attackers to bypass NTLM and basic authentication mechanisms, accessing private web directories via the
CiWebhitsfile parameter to null.htw.Recommendations
For Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server version 5.0, consider restricting access to the
CiWebhitsfile parameter in the null.htw file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, review and adjust the Windows NT ACL configuration to ensure proper access controls are in place.Exploit
