CVE-2021-26855, CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, CVE-2021-27065: Four Zero-Day Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server Exploited in the Wild

Microsoft Exchange Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This plugin detects the potential presence of a web shell in selected directories and this can be indicative that the host might have been targeted in the Hafnium campaign. It is recommended that the results are manually verified and appropriate remediation actions taken.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead looked for .aspx files that could potentially indicate compromise.

The Microsoft Exchange Server installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this to   execute unauthorized arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-26857)
