Bugzilla < 4.0.15 / 4.2.11 / 4.4.6 / 4.5.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 78069

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a web application affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Bugzilla installed on the remote host contains multiple flaws. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- If a new comment is marked as private to the insider group, and a flag is set in the same transaction, the comment will be visible to flag recipients even if they are not in the insider group. (CVE-2014-1571)

- A remote attacker can override certain parameters when creating a new Bugzilla account. This can lead to the account being created with a different email address than originally requested, allowing a user to be added to certain groups based on the group's regular expression setting. This may allow an attacker to escalate a given user accounts privileges.
(CVE-2014-1572)

- A flaw existed in how CGI arguments were handled that could allow cross-site scripting exploits which an attacker could use to access sensitive information.
(CVE-2014-1573)

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 Bugzilla 4.0.15 / 4.2.11 / 4.4.6 / 4.5.6 or later.
