Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an application installed that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of EMC NetWorker installed on the remote Windows host is 8.2.1.x prior to 8.2.2.6 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to improper handling of authentication. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands by leveraging access to a different NetWorker instance.

Solution

Upgrade to EMC NetWorker 8.2.2.6 / 8.2.3.0 / 9.0.0.6 or later.
