Rainloop WebMail is a widely deployed web-based email client used by individuals and organizations to manage their emails. It offers features like a smooth user interface, easy integration, and compatibility with various email services, making it popular for users looking for an efficient email management solution. Developed for both personal and professional use, it caters to those who need reliable access to email on diverse devices. Rainloop WebMail is primarily used within small to medium enterprises where seamless email integration is crucial. Its open-source nature allows developers to modify and customize its features to fit specific business requirements.
The vulnerability detected by this scanner involves the use of default login credentials in instances of Rainloop WebMail. Default credentials represent a significant security risk as they can grant unauthorized users access to the system. This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to gain admin-level access to the email client, leading to potential information theft or manipulation. Default login issues often arise when administrators fail to replace default usernames and passwords with secure credentials.
The technical details of this vulnerability showcase the presence of hard-coded default login credentials, typically "admin" and "12345", in the Rainloop WebMail configuration. The scanner sends requests attempting these default credentials and checks the response for successful login indications. The endpoint used is susceptible to granting administrative privileges, which can bypass critical security measures. The vulnerability lies in the admin login interface where the default credentials have not been changed by the user.
If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive email data, allowing attackers to read, send, or tamper with emails without detection. Such actions can result in data breaches, loss of confidential information, and disruption of business operations. In severe cases, compromised email accounts can be used for further attacks on other systems within the organization. The impact also includes potential reputation damage for businesses using compromised systems.
