DNN (DotNetNuke) 5.2.0 < 9.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 101397

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP.NET application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of DNN Platform (formerly DotNetNuke) running on the remote host is 5.2.0 or later but prior to 9.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to insecure use of web cookies to identify users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by impersonating a user and uploading malicious code to the server, to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects all versions from 7.0.0 to 9.1.0.

- A flaw exists due to an overly permissive HTML5 message posting policy when handling cross-document messaging.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to conduct a spoofing attack or to disclose sensitive information. This vulnerability affects all versions from 8.0.0 to 9.1.0.

- A cross-site redirection 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 follow a specially crafted link, to redirect users to a website of the attacker's choosing. This vulnerability affects all versions from 7.0.0 to 9.1.0.

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a failure to properly validate file types and extensions for uploaded files before placing them in a user-accessible path. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web service. This vulnerability affects all versions from 5.2.0 to 9.1.0.

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

Solution

Upgrade to DNN Platform version 9.1.1 or later.
