DNN (DotNetNuke) < 6.2.9 / 7.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 70294

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP.NET application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of DNN installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- The application is affected by a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability because input to the 'Display Name' in the 'Manage Profile' view is not properly sanitized. (CVE-2013-3943)

- The application is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability because user-supplied input to the '__dnnVariable' parameter is not properly sanitized.
(CVE-2013-4649)

- An unspecified open redirect flaw exists that can allow an attacker to perform a phishing attack by enticing a user to click on a malicious URL.
(CVE-2013-7335)

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 DNN version 6.2.9 / 7.1.1 or later.
