Vulnerabilities > CVE-2019-3716 - Information Exposure Through Log Files vulnerability in RSA Archer GRC Platform
Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
LOW Confidentiality impact
HIGH Integrity impact
HIGH Availability impact
HIGH Summary
RSA Archer versions, prior to 6.5 SP2, contain an information exposure vulnerability. The database connection password may get logged in plain text in the RSA Archer log files. An authenticated malicious local user with access to the log files may obtain the exposed password to use it in further attacks.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Fuzzing and observing application log data/errors for application mapping An attacker sends random, malformed, or otherwise unexpected messages to a target application and observes the application's log or error messages returned. Fuzzing techniques involve sending random or malformed messages to a target and monitoring the target's response. The attacker does not initially know how a target will respond to individual messages but by attempting a large number of message variants they may find a variant that trigger's desired behavior. In this attack, the purpose of the fuzzing is to observe the application's log and error messages, although fuzzing a target can also sometimes cause the target to enter an unstable state, causing a crash. By observing logs and error messages, the attacker can learn details about the configuration of the target application and might be able to cause the target to disclose sensitive information.

| description | The version of EMC RSA Archer running on the remote web server is prior to 6.4.1.5 or 6.5.x < 6.5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in RSA Archer versions, prior to 6.5 SP1 (6.5.0.1). An authenticated malicious local user with access to the log files may obtain user session information to use it in further attacks. (CVE-2019-3715) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in RSA Archer versions, prior to 6.5 SP2 (6.5.0.2). An authenticated malicious local user with access to the log files may obtain the database connection password to use it in further attacks. (CVE-2019-3716) Note that version 6.4 SP1 P5 (6.4.1.5) also fixed these vulnerabilities. |
