critical Nessus Plugin ID 195300

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a privilege mishandling vulnerability

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Neo4j running on the remote host is a version prior to 5.19.0. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege mishandling vulnerability in the Cypher component which mishandles IMMUTABLE privileges. Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number

Solution

Upgrade to Neo4j version 5.19.0 or later.
