jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

The version of ruby installed on the remote host is prior to 2.6.6-125. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2RUBY2.6-2023-007 advisory.

In vulnerable versions, jQuery     determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving     attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery     only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability     only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common. (CVE-2012-6708)

  - jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request     is performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.
    (CVE-2015-9251)

  - Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 mishandles path checking within     File.fnmatch functions. (CVE-2019-15845)

  - WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth in Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 has a     regular expression Denial of Service cause by looping/backtracking. A victim must expose a WEBrick server     that uses DigestAuth to the Internet or a untrusted network. (CVE-2019-16201)

  - Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a     program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the response header, an attacker can exploit it to     insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this     issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742, which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not     address an isolated CR or an isolated LF. (CVE-2019-16254)

  - Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows code injection if the first     argument (aka the command argument) to Shell#[] or Shell#test in lib/shell.rb is untrusted data. An     attacker can exploit this to call an arbitrary Ruby method. (CVE-2019-16255)

  - The JSON gem through 2.2.0 for Ruby, as used in Ruby 2.4 through 2.4.9, 2.5 through 2.5.7, and 2.6 through     2.6.5, has an Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability. This is quite similar to CVE-2013-0269, but does not     rely on poor garbage-collection behavior within Ruby. Specifically, use of JSON parsing methods can lead     to creation of a malicious object within the interpreter, with adverse effects that are application-     dependent. (CVE-2020-10663)

  - An issue was discovered in Ruby 2.5.x through 2.5.7, 2.6.x through 2.6.5, and 2.7.0. If a victim calls     BasicSocket#read_nonblock(requested_size, buffer, exception: false), the method resizes the buffer to fit     the requested size, but no data is copied. Thus, the buffer string provides the previous value of the     heap. This may expose possibly sensitive data from the interpreter. (CVE-2020-10933)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The All Supported Versions versions of GoldenGate installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2021 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Install (Dell BSAFE Crypto-J)). The supported version that is     affected is Prior to 19.1.0.0.0.210420. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with     network access via Oracle Net to compromise Oracle GoldenGate. Successful attacks require human interaction     from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle GoldenGate accessible data. (CVE-2019-3740)

  - Security-in-Depth issue in Oracle GoldenGate (component: Install (jQuery)). This vulnerability cannot be     exploited in the context of this product. (CVE-2020-11023)

Ruby news :

There are multiple vulnerabilities about Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in jQuery shipped with RDoc which bundled in Ruby. All Ruby users are recommended to update Ruby to the latest release which includes the fixed version of RDoc.

The following vulnerabilities have been reported.

CVE-2012-6708

CVE-2015-9251

jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common.
(CVE-2012-6708)

Impact

This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to perform an unauthorized modification.

According to its self-reported version, the IBM BigFix Platform application running on the remote host is 9.5.x prior to 9.5.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An arbitrary file upload vulnerability exists in IBM BigFix     Platform. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this     to upload arbitrary files on the remote host as the root user.
    (CVE-2019-4013)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in IBM BigFix     Platform due to the PortSmash side-channel attack against     processors leveraging SMT/Hyper-Threading. An authenticated,     local attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially     sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5407)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of user-supplied input before returning     it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL,     to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
    (CVE-2012-5883, CVE-2012-6708, CVE-2015-9251)

IBM BigFix Platform was formerly known as Tivoli Endpoint Manager, IBM Endpoint Manager, and IBM BigFix Endpoint Manager.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version number, jQuery is at least 1.7.1 and prior to 1.9.0. Therefore, it may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to jQuery(strInput).

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
