Gadu-Gadu Invisible Users Detection Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

<http://www.gadu-gadu.pl/> Gadu-Gadu is an instant messaging program that
is popular in Poland.

A flaw in Gadu-Gadu allows users of the program to detect the presence of
users that have made themselves invisible.

DETAILS

It was recently announced that the authors of Gadu-Gadu have fixed the
vulnerability in their servers that was used by software plugins such as
like "Inwigilator" to detect whether a user of the IM program is
Unavailable or Invisible.

It would appear that it is *still* possible to detect whether the user is
invisible.

Compiled POC allows you to try to detect the invisible user:
# ./gadu <your_uin> <your_password> <victim_uin>
gadu_connect: success.
Gosciu jest online!
gadu_disconnect

This shows that <victim_uin> is online. If seems unavailable it means they
are invisible.

The conditions remain constant:
- the victim must have you listed in their address book
- the victim must have image messages enabled (that is the minimum size >
0)
