Progress WhatsUp Gold < 23.0.0 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 177756

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Progress WhatsUp Gold application installed on the remote host is prior to 23.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to an SNMP-related application endpoint failing to adequately sanitize malicious input. This could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in a victim's browser, aka XSS.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold version 16.5.0 or later.
