Official description
Multiple BinSoft products perform client-side authentication. An attacker with access to any application instance connected to the backend server can bypass the login verification process by manipulating the application binary and authenticate as an arbitrary user. The described issue affects all published versions. The vendor stated that this issue is a direct result of the architecture model in which the software is distributed, and that it will be mitigated with a corrected installation manual.

The underlying weakness: Use of Client-Side Authentication
A client/server product performs authentication within client code but not in server code, allowing server-side authentication to be bypassed via a modified client that omits the authentication check.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Do not rely on client side data. Always perform server side authentication.
