CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: wget (CVE-2024-10524)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 211900

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of wget installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-10524 advisory.

- Applications that use Wget to access a remote resource using shorthand URLs and pass arbitrary user credentials in the URL are vulnerable. In these cases attackers can enter crafted credentials which will cause Wget to access an arbitrary host. (CVE-2024-10524)

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