Rockwell Automation products using GoAhead Web Server Use After Free (CVE-2019-5096)

critical Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 500904

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the processing of multi-part/form-data requests within the base GoAhead web server application in versions v5.0.1, v.4.1.1 and v3.6.5. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to a use-after-free condition during the processing of this request that can be used to corrupt heap structures that could lead to full code execution. The request can be unauthenticated in the form of GET or POST requests, and does not require the requested resource to exist on the server.

Rockwell Automation is aware of multiple products that utilize the GoAhead web server application and are affected by CVE 2019-5096.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
