Description: | Summary: The remote host is running an IMAP daemon that allows cleartext logins over unencrypted connections. NOTE: Valid credentials needs to given to the settings of 'Login configurations' OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.10870. Vulnerability Impact: An attacker can uncover user names and passwords by sniffing traffic to the IMAP daemon if a less secure authentication mechanism (eg, LOGIN command, AUTH=PLAIN, AUTH=LOGIN) is used. Solution: Configure the remote server to always enforce encrypted connections via SSL/TLS with the 'STARTTLS' command. CVSS Score: 4.8 CVSS Vector: AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N |
