Oracle 9iAS XSQLServlet soapConfig.xml Authentication Credentials Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 11224

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

In a default installation of Oracle 9iAS v.1.0.2.2.1, it is possible to access some configuration files. These files include detailed information on how the product was installed on the server including where the SOAP provider and service manager are located as well as administrative URLs to access them. They may also contain sensitive information (usernames and passwords for database access).

Solution

Modify the file permissions so that the web server process cannot retrieve it. Note however that if the XSQLServlet is present it might bypass filesystem restrictions.
