I have discovered a huge security flaw in Ensim 3.0 and 3.1 server administration software.
It seems that users allocated email addresses can steal email from other users by adding an alias to a complete email address rather than the usual method of merely adding a username.
Here is a step by step method of how you can steal email from another user.
my victims email is fred@somedomain.com
somedomain.com is hosted on an ensim managed server
I do not have any passwords to fred's email account but I have an account of my own snooper@somedomain.com
I enter my user panel (somedomain.com/user) and goto the mail option (email manager)
In the email manager I select add alias from the alias page
In the field I enter fred@somedomain.com and press save
message is... adding alias succeeded
That's it .. all mail going to fred's mailbox now comes to mine (snooper@somedomain.com)
and just to clarify ... yes fred@somedomain.com already existed.
I have emailed Ensim and posted on their forum but have had no reply ...
Thanks ... Fizzwizz
