ManageEngine Desktop Central < 9 Build 90135 Unauthenticated Admin Password Reset

critical Nessus Plugin ID 82472

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java web application that contains an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of ManageEngine Desktop Central running on the remote host is prior to 9 build 90135. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a flaw in the addOrModifyUser() method in the 'DCOperationsServlet' servlet. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to reset user and admin passwords via a standard HTTP request to the 'DCOperationsServlet' servlet.

Solution

Upgrade to ManageEngine Desktop Central 9 build 90135 or later.
