Synopsis

A web application running on the remote server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of VMWare Aria Operations for Networks running on the remote web server is 6.x < 6.2.0.1688977536, 6.3.x < 6.3.0.1688986302, 6.4.x < 6.4.0.1689079386, 6.5.x < 6.5.1.1688974096, 6.6.x < 6.6.0.1688979729, 6.7.x < 6.7.0.1688972173, 6.8.x < 6.8.0.1688989059, 6.9.x < 6.9.0.1688995771, or 6.10.x < 6.10.0.1692934256. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Aria Operations for Networks contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability due to a lack of unique cryptographic key generation. A malicious actor with network access to Aria Operations for Networks could bypass SSH authentication to gain access to the Aria Operations for Networks CLI. (CVE-2023-34039)

 - Aria Operations for Networks contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability. An authenticated malicious actor with administrative access to VMware Aria Operations for Networks can write files to arbitrary locations resulting in remote code execution. (CVE-2023-20890) 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 VMWare Aria Operations for Networks 6.2.0.1688977536, 6.3.0.1688986302, 6.4.0.1689079386, 6.5.1.1688974096, 6.6.0.1688979729, 6.7.0.1688972173, 6.8.0.1688989059, 6.9.0.1688995771, or 6.10.0.1692934256 or later.
