medium Nessus Plugin ID 172640

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of ManageEngine AssetExplorer prior to 6.9 Build 6988 is running on the remote web server. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- A privilege escalation vulnerability in query reports. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to restricted data in a Postgres database system by utilizing a certain PostgreSQL function in the query, allowing the validation process to be bypassed. (CVE-2023-26600)

- A Denial of Service vulnerability in image upload. This vulnerability allows an attacker to exploit the way an API method allocates memory by sending a small image file with a large size defined in the header, causing the application to crash or become unresponsive. (CVE-2023-26601)

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

Solution

Upgrade ManageEngine AssetExplorer to version 6.9 Build 6988 or later.
