ManageEngine AssetExplorer Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 86885

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of ManageEngine AssetExplorer running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a misconfiguration in web.xml that allows access to the URL /workorder/FileDownload.jsp without requiring authentication.

- A path traversal vulnerability exists in the servlet that processes the URL /workorder/FileDownload.jsp due to improper sanitization of input to the 'fName' parameter.

Consequently, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues, by using a crafted directory traversal sequence, to retrieve arbitrary files through the web server, subject to the privileges that it operates under.

Solution

Upgrade to ManageEngine AssetExplorer version 6.1 build 6113 or later.
