IBM BigFix Compliance 1.9.70 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 100720

Synopsis

An infrastructure management application running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of IBM BigFix Compliance running on the remote web server is 1.9.70. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Analytics component in the Web UI due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-1178)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Analytics component due to the use of outdated encryption algorithms. A man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-1179)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Analytics component due to a weak default password policy. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a brute-force attack, to disclose user account credentials. (CVE-2017-1196)

- A security weakness exists in the Analytics component due to a failure to securely lockout accounts after multiple failed authentication attempts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to perform brute-force attacks. (CVE-2017-1197)

Solution

Upgrade to IBM BigFix Compliance version 1.9.79 or later.
