high Nessus Plugin ID 91349

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web application is affected by a command injection vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Zabbix running on the remote host is affected by a command injection vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'mysql.size' user parameter. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary shell commands.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Zabbix version 2.0.18 / 2.2.13 / 3.0.3 or later.
