Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the install of VMware AirWatch Console running on the remote host is 9.1.x prior to 9.1.5.6, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.3.27, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.0.25, 9.4.x prior to 9.4.0.22, 9.5.x prior to 9.5.0.16, 9.6.x prior to 9.6.0.7, or 9.7.x prior to 9.7.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by an error related to handling SAML authentication and device enrollment that can allow session impersonation.

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 AirWatch Console version 9.1.5.6, 9.2.3.27, 9.3.0.25, 9.4.0.22, 9.5.0.16, 9.6.0.7, 9.7.0.3 or later.

Alternatively, disable SAML authentication.
