    Sawmill is a powerful heirarchical log analysis tool that runs on every
    major platform.
    
    
    Vulnerability Type:
    ===================================
    Pass the Hash Authentication Bypass
    
    
    
    CVE Reference:
    ==============
    CVE-2017-5496
    
    
    
    Security Issue:
    =====================
    Sawmill suffers from a classic "Pass The Hash" vulnerability whereby an
    attacker who gains access to the hashed user account passwords
    can login to the Sawmill interface using the raw MD5 hash values, allowing
    attackers to bypass the work of offline cracking
    account password hashes.
    
    
    This issue usually is known to affect Windows systems e.g. (NT Pass the
    Hash/Securityfocus, 1997). However, this vulnerability can also
    present itself in a vulnerable Web application.
    
    Sawmill account password hashes are stored under LogAnalysisInfo/ directory
    in "users.cfg".
    
    e.g.
    
    users = {
    root_admin = {
    username = "admin"
    password_checksum = "e99a18c428cb38d5f260853678922e03"
    email_address = ""
    
    
    This config file is stored local to the Sawmill application. However, if an
    attacker gains access to a backup of the config that is
    stored in some other location that is then compromised, it can lead to
    subversion of Sawmills authenticaton process.
    
    Moreover, since 'users.cfg' file is world readble a regular non Admin
    Windows user who logs into the system running sawmill can now grab
    a password hash and easily login to the vulnerable application without the
    needing the password itself.
    
    
    How to test?
    
    
    Sawmill running (default port 8988), log off Windows and switch to a
    "Standard" Windows non Administrator user.
    
    1) Open "users.cfg" under Sawmills directory "C:\Program Files\Sawmill 8\LogAnalysisInfo" and copy the root_admin Admin password hash.
    
    2) Go to the Sawmill login page in web browser http://VICTIM-IP:8988/ enter username 'admin' and the hash, Tada! your Admin.
    
    
    Finally, Sawmill passwords are hashed using vulnerable MD5 algorithm and no
    salt.
    
    
    e.g.
    
    password: abc123
    MD5 hash:
    e99a18c428cb38d5f260853678922e03
