medium Nessus Plugin ID 215953

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of golang / python-tensorboard installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2020-24553 advisory.

- Go before 1.14.8 and 1.15.x before 1.15.1 allows XSS because text/html is the default for CGI/FCGI handlers that lack a Content-Type header. (CVE-2020-24553)

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

Solution
