- - ------------------------------------------------------
1.RETRIEVING OTHER USERS ASP SOURCE CODES
- - ------------------------------------------------------
Any valid user can access other users source codes just by know file
names. So an attacker can access ASP Source Codes, database passwords
and other information in source codes.
- - ------------------------------------------------------
2. ACCESSING DATABASE FILES
- - ------------------------------------------------------
If you know the name of any Brinkster user database file you can
download it. (You can find database name form source code -see:first
vuln.-). Brinkster use a spesific and accesible folder to store user
database files.
- - ------------------------------------------------------
3. SKIPPING CODE CONTROLS
- - ------------------------------------------------------
Brinkster does not allow some code snippets in ASP files for server
performance. Like "Server.Scripttimeout = 8000". Brinkster File
Manager automatically scanning your uploaded source code and if it
finds any restricted keyword, it will delete your uploaded file.
You can skip this by using ASP built-in Execute() function. This
function is not in Brinkster keyword blacklist. So write a simple
decoder and encoder for your code and use it by Execute() function.
