CVE-2011-2153: Infoleak
First published: Fri May 20 2011(Updated: )
Login.aspx in the SmarterTools SmarterStats 6.0 web server supports URLs containing txtUser and txtPass parameters in the query string, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to discover credentials by reading (1) web-server access logs, (2) web-server Referer logs, or (3) the browser history, related to a "cross-domain Referer leakage" issue.
