Computer Associates XOsoft SOAP Request Username Enumeration (CA20100406)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 45502

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a web application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server is a component of XOsoft, a product from Computer Associates for combined business continuity and disaster recovery.

The installed version of this service does not require authentication when handling SOAP requests to enumerate user names. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to enumerate local users on the remote system.

The installed version is reportedly also affected by other vulnerabilities, including one that may allow arbitrary code execution on the remote system. Nessus however has not checked for existence of such vulnerabilities.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch referenced in the vendor advisory.
