Dell EMC NetWorker Improper Authorization (DSA-2023-294)

high Nessus Plugin ID 182154

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an application installed that is affected by an improper authorization vulnerability.

Description

The version of Dell EMC NetWorker installed on the remote Windows host is 19.7.0.x prior to 19.7.0.5, 19.7.1.x, 19.8.x prior to 19.8.0.3, or 19.9.x prior to 19.9.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by an improper authorization vulnerability in the NetWorker client. An unauthenticated attacker within the same network could potentially exploit this by manipulating a command leading to gain of complete access to the server file further resulting in information leaks, denial of service, and arbitrary code execution. Dell recommends customers to upgrade at the earliest opportunity.

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 Dell EMC NetWorker 19.7.0.5, 19.8.0.3, 19.9.0.2, or later.
