CGIScript.net csPassword.cgi stores usernames and unencrypted passwords in the password.cgi.tmp temporary file while modifying data, which could allow local users (and possibly remote attackers) to gain privileges by stealing the file before it has been processed.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability can expose usernames and plaintext passwords when CGIScript.net csPassword.cgi updates data. The credentials are written to a temporary file, password.cgi.tmp, creating a chance for local users, and possibly remote attackers, to steal them before processing finishes. Likely limited to legacy websites still running CGIScript.net csPassword.cgi or carrying old copies in web-accessible CGI directories. Exposure cannot be assessed from the sources because product versions and deployment paths are not provided. Treat as a legacy credential-exposure risk. Prioritize investigation if the organization hosts old CGI applications, shared web servers, or externally reachable password-management scripts. Modern environments without this script are unlikely to be affected. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for csPassword.cgi and password.cgi.tmp artifacts.; Check vendor or archived project guidance for any official update or replacement.; Remove or disable unused legacy CGI password-management scripts..
