VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/16666/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Savant Web Server 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/217/

DESCRIPTION:
basher13 has discovered a security issue in Savant Web Server, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially
sensitive information.

The problem is that user credentials are stored with insecure
permissions in "HKLM\SOFTWARE\DAEMONS\Savant\Users" in the Windows
registry. This can be exploited to disclose server usernames and
passwords.

The security issue has been confirmed in version 3.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
