Security Updates for Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Azure DevOps Server (April 2021)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 148714

Language:

Synopsis

The Microsoft Team Foundation Server or Azure DevOps is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Team Foundation Server or Azure DevOps install is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these to either perform actions with the privileges of another user or disclose sensitive information.

Note all systems require a manual process of applying new resource group tasks. Nessus is unable to detect the state of the tasks at this time.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Microsoft has released the following updates:
 - Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1 with patch 8
 - Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 0.1 with patch 2

Additionally, Team Foundation Server 2017 Update 3.1 through Azure DevOps 2020.0.1 require resource group task(s) to be manually applied.

Please refer to the vendor guidance to determine the version and patch to apply.
