medium Nessus Plugin ID 132870

Language:

Synopsis

The Microsoft Office Online Server installation on the remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The Microsoft Office Online Server installation on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :

 - A spoofing vulnerability exists when Office Online does not validate origin in cross-origin communications correctly. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected site. The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could then perform cross-origin attacks on affected systems. These attacks could allow the attacker to read content that the attacker is not authorized to read, and use the victim's identity to take actions on the site on behalf of the victim. The victim needs to be authenticated for an attacker to compromise the victim.
 The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring that Office Online properly validates origins.
 (CVE-2020-0647)

Solution

Microsoft has released KB4484223 to address this issue.
