CodeMeter < 7.10a Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 140696

Language:

Synopsis

A web application on the remote host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the CodeMeter WebAdmin server installed on the remote host is prior to 7.10a. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist where the packet parser mechanism does not verify length fields. An attacker could send specially crafted packets to exploit these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2020-14509)

- Protocol encryption can be easily broken and the server accepts external connections, which may allow an attacker to remotely communicate with the CodeMeter API. (CVE-2020-14517)

- Use of the internal WebSockets API via a specifically crafted Java Script payload, which may allow alteration or creation of license files when combined with CVE-2020-14515. (CVE-2020-14519)

Solution

Upgrade to CodeMeter 7.10a (7.10.4196.501) or later.
