high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700417

Synopsis

The remote web server is running an outdated instance of Magento Community Edition (CE) that is affected by multiple attack vectors.

Description

Versions of Magento CE 2.0.x prior to 2.0.17 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An administrator with limited privileges can create Billing Agreements with embedded cross-site scripting (XSS) elements that can subsequently lead to a stored XSS attack.
- An administrator with limited privileges can insert malicious code in e-mail templates, product attributes, and promo fields creating an opportunity for arbitrary remote code execution.
- An administrator with limited privileges can create a downloadable product that can create an opportunity for arbitrary code execution.
- An administrator with limited privileges can insert injectable code in the 'swatches' feature, creating an opportunity for arbitrary remote code execution.
- An administrator with limited privileges can create a store website that can accept and run arbitrary remote code execution.
- An administrator with limited privileges can delete critical system control files to subsequently gain privilege escalation through the Import History section.
- An administrator with limited privileges can insert a widget block containing malicious code, creating an opportunity for arbitrary remote code execution.
- An administrator with limited privileges can inject malicious code that can cause sensitive files to be deleted. He could then launch a second stage payload that would lead to arbitrary remote code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Magento CE version 2.0.17 or later.
