Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of AlienVault Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the 'av-centerd' SOAP service due to a failure to sanitize user input to the 'get_file' method. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files with root privileges.

Note that this version is reportedly also affected by two remote code execution vulnerabilities. However, Nessus did not test for these additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade to 4.8.0 or later.
