about.r OS and Progress version disclosure. Because of poor security in webutil/about.r it is possible to view the OS and the Progress version of a remote webspeed server. First you have to find the messenger execution url. For example: http://yourmachine.com/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=wsbroker1 http://yourmachine.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsbroker1 just add the following to the url: /webutil/about.r your url will look like this: http://yourmachine.com/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=wsbroker1/webutil/about.r Then you get a response displaying the OS version and the Progress version. This is usefull info for potential hackers. This workes for all Progress releases. http://www.ishare.nl
