Discussion

Putmail Improper Authentication Weakness

Putmail is prone to a weakness that may disclose user credentials to a remote attacker.

The application may choose to send authentication credentials in cleartext format without notifying a vulnerable user.

An attacker can potentially obtain authentication credentials in cleartext format by using a network sniffer application. This can lead to other attacks.

Putmail versions prior to 1.4 are vulnerable to this issue.
