Cisco Unified MeetingPlace XML Processing Information Disclosure (CSCus97452)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84193

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a conferencing application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace application hosted on the remote web server is potentially affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper handling of XML external entities (XXEs). An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability, by convincing a MeetingPlace administrator to import a specially crafted XML file, to disclose sensitive information stored in files on the affected system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Additionally, the coarse nature of the version information Nessus gathered is not enough to confirm that the application is vulnerable, only that it might be affected.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug ID CSCus97452.
