Bugzilla < 2.18.1 Multiple Information Disclosures

low Nessus Plugin ID 18245

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI script that suffers from information disclosure vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of Bugzilla that reportedly may include passwords in the web server logs because it embeds a user's password in a report URL if the user is prompted to log in while viewing a chart. It also allows users to learn whether an invisible product exists in Bugzilla because the application uses one error message if it does not and another if it does but access is denied. And finally, it lets users enter bugs even when the bug entry is closed provided a valid product name is used.

Solution

Upgrade to Bugzilla 2.18.1 or later.
