Description:
Frank Mileto has discovered a vulnerability in Spy Sweeper Enterprise, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information.
The problem is that the administrative password used for overriding settings from client systems is stored in clear text in a location in the registry, which is readable by all users. This can be exploited by retrieving the value of "ap" under the registry key: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Webroot\Enterprise\Spy Sweeper".
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.5.1.3698. Other versions may also be affected.
