Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java web application that is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of ManageEngine Desktop Central running on the remote host is affected by a remote security bypass vulnerability, due to a failure to restrict access to 'DCPluginServelet'.
