Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update 5012666 or cumulative update 5012650. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-26812, CVE-2022-26919,CVE-2022-26809,CVE-2022-26918,CVE-2022-26813, CVE-2022-26821,CVE-2022-26819,CVE-2022-26815,CVE-2022-26916, CVE-2022-26822,CVE-2022-26917,CVE-2022-26829,CVE-2022-26820, CVE-2022-24541,CVE-2022-24492,CVE-2022-24536,CVE-2022-24534, CVE-2022-24485,CVE-2022-24533,CVE-2022-26903,CVE-2022-24528, CVE-2022-21983,CVE-2022-24500)

 - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-26796, CVE-2022-26827,CVE-2022-26802,CVE-2022-26797,CVE-2022-26807, CVE-2022-26792,CVE-2022-26794,CVE-2022-26803,CVE-2022-26801, CVE-2022-26787,CVE-2022-26810,CVE-2022-26904,CVE-2022-26798, CVE-2022-26790,CVE-2022-24544,CVE-2022-24540,CVE-2022-24481, CVE-2022-24527,CVE-2022-24474,CVE-2022-24521,CVE-2022-24499, CVE-2022-24494,CVE-2022-24542,CVE-2022-24530)

 - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2022-26915, CVE-2022-26831,CVE-2022-24538,CVE-2022-24484,CVE-2022-26784)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2022-24493,CVE-2022-24498,CVE-2022-24483)

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