ChartDirector for .NET cacheId Parameter Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 40983

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a .NET component that allows arbitrary file access.

Description

The remote web server uses ChartDirector for .NET, a component for creating and displaying charts.

The installed version of ChartDirector fails to sanitize the 'cacheId' parameter before using it to retrieve arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this issue to view the contents of arbitrary files on the affected host, subject to the privileges under which the web server runs.

Solution

Either apply the netchartdir501p2 patch or upgrade to ChartDirector for .NET version 5.0.2 or later.
