IBM BigFix Server 9.1.x < 9.1.1275.0 Multiple XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 93223

Language:

Synopsis

An infrastructure management application running on the remote host is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM BigFix Server running on the remote host is version 9.1.x prior to 9.1.1275.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the BES gather function due to improper validation of input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-0269)

 - A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability exists when handling .beswrpt files due to improper validation of input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-0293)

IBM BigFix was formerly known as Tivoli Endpoint Manager, IBM Endpoint Manager, and IBM BigFix Endpoint Manager.

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

Solution

Upgrade to IBM BigFix Server version 9.1.1275.0 or later.
