Technical details

An improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) exists in the Login RMI Interface of IAS Canias ERP 8.03. The vulnerability is located in the handling of the 'clientVersion' argument within the RMI 'doAction' method. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can manipulate this argument to bypass authentication logic and disclose valid session IDs. These session IDs can subsequently be used to hijack active user or system sessions (such as CRONJOB sessions), facilitating further exploitation including remote code execution when chained with other vulnerabilities in the same product. As of the advisory date, the vendor has not provided a patch.
