high Nessus Plugin ID 177392

Language:

Synopsis

The Microsoft Team Foundation Server or Azure DevOps is affected by multiple spoofing vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Team Foundation Server or Azure DevOps install is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple server spoofing vulnerabilities. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could access data that is available for the current user. Depending on the user's authorization the attacker could collect detailed data about ADO elements such as org/proj configuration, users, groups, teams, projects, pipelines, board, or wiki. An attacker could also craft page elements to collect user secrets and is able to manipulate DOM model of website adding/removing elements, with crafted script is able to do actions on ADO in current user context without user consent or awareness.

Note all systems require a manual process of applying new resource group tasks. Nessus is unable to detect the state of the tasks at this time.

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

Solution

Microsoft has released the following updates:
 - Azure DevOps Server 2022.0.1 with patch 1
 - Azure DevOps Server 2022 with patch 4
 - Azure DevOps Server 2020.1.2 with patch 6
 - Azure DevOps Server 2020.0.2 with patch 2
 - Azure DevOps Server 2019.1.2 with patch 3

Please refer to the vendor guidance to determine the version and patch to apply.
