SecurityReporter < 4.6.3p1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 25994

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI application that is affected by multiple issues.

Description

The 'file.cgi' script included with the version of SecurityReporter installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'name' parameter before returning the contents of the specified file and supports bypassing authentication using specially crafted arguments. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues to retrieve the contents of arbitrary files on the remote host.

In addition, 'file.cgi' allows an attacker to bypass authentication using a specially crafted 'name' parameter.

Note that SecurityReporter is also known as 'Network Security Analyzer' and is included in products from eIQnetworks, Top Layer Networks, Clavister, Astaro, Reflex Security, H3C, Piolink, and MiraPoint.

Solution

Upgrade to version 4.6.3 if necessary and then apply SecurityReporter v4.6.3 patch 1. Or contact the vendor for a patch.
