SonicWall SonicOS Multiple Vulnerabilities (SNWLID-2025-0003)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 232198

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the remote SonicWall firewall is running a version of SonicOS that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in the SonicOS SSLVPN authentication token generator that, in certain cases, can be predicted by an attacker potentially resulting in authentication bypass. (CVE-2024-40762)

- An Improper Authentication vulnerability in the SSLVPN authentication mechanism allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication. (CVE-2024-53704)

- A Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the SonicOS SSH management interface allows a remote attacker to establish a TCP connection to an IP address on any port when the user is logged in to the firewall. (CVE-2024-53705)

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 the relevant fixed version referenced in the vendor security advisory.
