Adobe Connect <= 11.4.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB24-99)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 212244

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Connect installed on the remote host is prior to 11.4.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb24-99 advisory.

- Adobe Connect versions 12.6, 11.4.7 and earlier are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by an attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields.
Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim's browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field. (CVE-2024-54032, CVE-2024-54036, CVE-2024-54039, CVE-2024-54040, CVE-2024-54041)

- Adobe Connect versions 12.6, 11.4.7 and earlier are affected by a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. If an attacker is able to convince a victim to visit a URL referencing a vulnerable page, malicious JavaScript content may be executed within the context of the victim's browser. (CVE-2024-49550, CVE-2024-54034, CVE-2024-54042, CVE-2024-54043, CVE-2024-54044, CVE-2024-54045, CVE-2024-54046, CVE-2024-54047, CVE-2024-54048, CVE-2024-54049)

- Adobe Connect versions 12.6, 11.4.7 and earlier are affected by a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the victim's browser session. By manipulating a DOM element through a crafted URL or user input, the attacker can inject malicious scripts that run when the page is rendered. This type of attack requires user interaction, as the victim would need to visit a malicious link or input data into a compromised form.
(CVE-2024-54037)

- Adobe Connect versions 12.6, 11.4.7 and earlier are affected by a URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') vulnerability. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to redirect users to malicious websites. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction. (CVE-2024-54050, CVE-2024-54051)

- Adobe Connect versions 12.6, 11.4.7 and earlier are affected by an Improper Access Control vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. (CVE-2024-54038)

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 Adobe Connect version 11.4.9 or later.
