The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central install is missing a security update.

Description

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central install is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a the following vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Business Central due to the application not properly hiding the value of a masked field when showing the records as a chart page. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2020-1018)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Update Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to CU18 for the October 2018 release, CU11 for the April 2019 release, 15.5 for 2019 Release Wave 2, or later.
