Plexus-utils before 3.0.16 is vulnerable to command injection because it does not correctly process the contents of double quoted strings.

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

  - plexus-utils: Mishandled strings in Commandline class allow for command injection (CVE-2017-1000487)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to its self-reported version number, the version of JFrog Artifactory installed on the remote host is prior to 7.11.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in FasterXML Jackson Databind, where it did not have entity expansion secured properly.
    This flaw allows vulnerability to XML external entity (XXE) attacks. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is data integrity. (CVE-2020-25649)   
  - Plexus-utils before 3.0.16 is vulnerable to command injection because it does not correctly process the contents     of double quoted strings. (CVE-2017-1000487)

  - In Eclipse Jetty, versions 9.2.x and older, 9.3.x (all configurations), and 9.4.x (non-default configuration     with RFC2616 compliance enabled), transfer-encoding chunks are handled poorly. The chunk length parsing was     vulnerable to an integer overflow. Thus a large chunk size could be interpreted as a smaller chunk size and     content sent as chunk body could be interpreted as a pipelined request. If Jetty was deployed behind an     intermediary that imposed some authorization and that intermediary allowed arbitrarily large chunks to be passed on     unchanged, then this flaw could be used to bypass the authorization imposed by the intermediary as the fake     pipelined request would not be interpreted by the intermediary as a request. (CVE-2017-7657)

  - In Hazelcast before 3.11, the cluster join procedure is vulnerable to remote code execution via Java     deserialization. If an attacker can reach a listening Hazelcast instance with a crafted JoinRequest, and vulnerable     classes exist in the classpath, the attacker can run arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-10750)

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

Charles Duffy discovered that the Commandline class in the utilities for the Plexus framework performs insufficient quoting of double-encoded strings, which could result in the execution of arbitrary shell commands.

Charles Duffy discovered that the Commandline class in plexus-utils2, a collection of components used by Apache Maven, does not correctly quote the contents of double-quoted strings. An attacker may use this flaw to inject arbitrary shell commands.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.5-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your plexus-utils2 packages.
