Description:
masud_libra has reported some vulnerabilities in Regulus, which can be exploited by malicious people to access sensitive information or bypass certain security restrictions.

1) Regulus uses an insufficient security check to prevent scripts from being accessed directly. It is therefore possible to bypass this check via a specially crafted URL and may disclose sensitive information or grant access to restricted resources.

Example:
http://[victim]/base-dir/htmlcust/custchoice.php?lang=English&userid=[username]&action=To see your connections logs
http://[victim]/base-dir/htmlcust/custchoice.php?lang=English&userid=[username]&action=To update your password

2) A problem caused due to encrypted passwords being sent in HTML documents can e.g. be exploited to change the password without knowing the old password.

3) A vulnerability concerning the password file being reachable within the web root can be exploited to gain access to usernames and encrypted passwords.

Example:
http://[victim]/base-dir/access/stafffile

Solution:
Use another product.
