Multiple format string vulnerabilities in websrv.cpp in Dawn of Time 1.69s beta4 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the (1) username or (2) password fields when accessing certain restricted zones, which are not properly handled by the (a) processWebHeader and (b) filterWebRequest functions.

Weakness

The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
