ManageEngine Security Manager Plus 'f' Directory Traversal Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 63206

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is prone to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The installed version of ManageEngine Security Manager Plus fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'f' parameter of the 'store' request page before using it to return the contents of a file.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to retrieve arbitrary files through the web server using specially crafted requests subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.

Note that this install is likely affected by other vulnerabilities, though Nessus has not tested for these.

Solution

Update to version 5.5 build 5506 or later.
