medium Nessus Plugin ID 156024

Language:

Synopsis

A McAfee Policy Auditor agent installed on the remote host is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of McAfee Policy Auditor Agent, installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

 - A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in McAfee Policy Auditor prior to 6.5.2 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the profileNodeID request parameters.
 The malicious script is reflected unmodified into the Policy Auditor web-based interface which could lead to the extraction of end user session token or login credentials. These may be used to access additional security-critical applications or conduct arbitrary cross-domain requests. (CVE-2021-31851)
- A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in McAfee Policy Auditor prior to 6.5.2 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the UID request parameter. The malicious script is reflected unmodified into the Policy Auditor web-based interface which could lead to the extract of end user session token or login credentials. These may be used to access additional security-critical applications or conduct arbitrary cross-domain requests. (CVE-2021-31852) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to McAfee Policy Auditor Agent version 6.5.2 or later.
