Synopsis

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

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM BigFix Platform application running on the remote host is 9.5.x prior to 9.5.10.
It is therefore affected by an information disclosure vulnerability as a result of storing user credentials in plain text, which could be read by an authenticated attacker.

IBM BigFix Platform was formerly known as Tivoli Endpoint Manager, IBM Endpoint Manager, and IBM BigFix Endpoint Manager.

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 IBM BigFix Platform version 9.5.10 or later.
