Patches o Reporter 9.3 - a fix is available in 9.3.3.2. o Reporter 9.2 and earlier - please upgrade to a later version. o Reporter 8.3 and earlier - please upgrade to a later version. Additional Product Information Issues No CVE has been assigned at this time. Reporter does not default secure when installed with the default configuration values. By default, administrative connections go over a clear text channel (HTTP) allowing an attacker with access to the network to view, replay, and modify all login and session data. Disconnected login is also enabled by default in 9.x releases.Disconnected login stores the password used by the Administrator locally with minimal obfuscation. An attacker who is able to de-obfuscate the password will thereby be able to log in to Reporter as the Administrator and will be able to log in to the configured LDAP directory. Reporter 9.3 and later defaults to HTTPS for administrative connections and redirects HTTP connections to HTTPS. Reporter also disables disconnected login by default. Mitigation Configure Reporter to support HTTPS for management connections and always connect to Reporter over HTTPS.Disable disconnected login.
