Description:
A security issue has been reported in Stanford WebAuth, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially disclose sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the application converting requests containing a user's password from a POST to a GET form under certain conditions. This can be exploited to potentially disclose the user's password via web server logs or via the user's browser history when e.g. an initially successful cookie test fails at login.
NOTE: The URL containing the password may also be forwarded as the referrer to a target web site and disclosed via server logs, if the WebLogin confirmation page is enabled.
The security issue is reported in versions 3.5.5, 3.6.0, and 3.6.1.
