Security Update for Microsoft Power BI Report Server (January 2023)

high Nessus Plugin ID 171549

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is missing a security update.

Description

The Microsoft Power BI Report Server on the remote host is missing the January 2023 security update. It is, therefore, affected by a spoofing vulnerability that can result in escalation of privilege. An authenticated, remote attacker can, by tricking a user into opening a malicious file on the server, retrieve that user's cookies or present the user with a dialog box to enter user credentials.

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

Solution

Upgrade Power BI Report Server to version 1.16.8420.13742 or later.
