~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
Password Safe and Repository Enterprise is a password management
software for companies with many features.
The manufacturer MATESO GmbH describes the product as follows (see [1]):
"Manage your passwords in the company according to your security needs!
Features such as password policies, multi-eyes principle, workflow and
task system makes management productive and safe.
The integrated rights management system with data transfer option and
automatic synchronization with Active Directory ensures that your
employees can only access data which they are entitled to."
Passwords of Password Safe and Repository Enterprise users are stored
as raw, unsalted MD5 hash values and thus are insufficiently protected
from attackers with access to the password management software database.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
The SySS GmbH found out that user passwords are stored as raw, unsalted
MD5 hash values in the table tdUsers of the databases of the password
management software Password Safe and Repository Enterprise.
The use of a cryptographic one-way hash function MD5 without using a
salt for storing sensitive data like user passwords allows an attacker
with access to this data to perform efficient password guessing attacks
using pre-computed dictionaries, for instance rainbow tables.
The vulnerability concerning the insecure storage of user password
information as raw, unsalted MD5 hash values affects both the online and
the offline mode of the password management software.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
When using the change password functionality, the following SQL
statement is used for storing the raw, unsalted MD5 hash value of the
new login password in the database table tdUsers:
UPDATE tdUsers SET LoginPassword = '
LastLogin = julianday('<DATE>'), LastPasswordChange = julianday('<DATE>'),
ChangeDate = julianday('<DATE>'), LastPasswords =
'
In this example, the password "Passw0rd2015" was set, as the following
output shows:
$ echo -n "Passw0rd2015" | md5sum

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution:
According to information by the MATESO GmbH, the described security
issue has been fixed in the software version 7.5.0.2255 that was
released on October 5, 2015.
Please contact the manufacturer for further information or support.
