Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HTTP File Server (HFS) versions prior to 2.2c

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain configuration and usage details. This can be achieved by using a specific id element, such as <id>%version%</id>, in HTTP Basic Authentication instead of a username and password. For example, an attacker could place this id element in the userinfo subcomponent of a URL, like 'http://example.com/%3Cid%3E%25version%25%3C/id%3E', to exploit this issue.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.2c, update to version 2.2c or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the HTTP File Server until the update can be applied.
