EMail Security Virtual Appliance learn-msg.cgi Remote Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 61996

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of EMail Security Virtual Appliance installed on the remote host is affected by a code execution vulnerability in the 'id' parameter of the 'learn-msg.cgi' script. By exploiting this flaw, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server hosting the affected application.

Note the installed version is also likely affected by a similar vulnerability in the 'release-msg.cgi' script, though Nessus has not tested for this.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
