ManageEngine Desktop Central < 10.1.2127.18 / 10.1.2128.0 < 10.1.2137.3 Authentication Bypass (CVE-2021-44515)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 155865

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java-based web application that is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The ManageEngine Desktop Central application running on the remote host is prior to 10.1.2127.18, or 10.1.2128.0 prior to 10.1.2137.3. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability which can allow an adversary to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code in the Desktop Central server.

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

Solution

Upgrade to ManageEngine Desktop Central 10.1.2127.18 / 10.1.2137.3 or later.
