IBM WebSphere Portal 7.0.0.x < 7.0.0.2 CF29 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 79691
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Windows host has web portal software installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is 7.0.0.x prior to 7.0.0.2 CF29. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Apache Struts ClassLoader. A remote attacker can exploit this issue by manipulating the 'class' parameter of an ActionForm object to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-0114)
- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists which allows a remote, authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. (CVE-2014-0910)
- An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists that allows a remote attacker to crash the host by sending a specially crafted web request to cause a consumption of resources. (CVE-2014-0949)
- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the 'boot_config.jsp' script due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the security context of a user's browser to steal authentication cookies.
(CVE-2014-0952)
- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input.
(CVE-2014-0953)
- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Web Content Viewer portlet due to improper handling of JSP includes. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or control the request dispatcher by sending a specially crafted URL request. (CVE-2014-0954)
- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the security context of a user's web browser to steal authentication cookies. (CVE-2014-0956)
- An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists that allows an authenticated attacker to cause a successful login to loop back to the login page indefinitely. (CVE-2014-0959)
- An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability exists which allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3083)
- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the security context of a user's browser. (CVE-2014-3102)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to the returned error codes which an attacker can use to identify devices behind a firewall. (CVE-2014-4746)
- An unspecified open redirect vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to perform a phishing attack by enticing a user to click on a malicious URL.
(CVE-2014-4760)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists which allows a remote, authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information, such as user credentials, through certain HTML pages. (CVE-2014-4761)
- An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists which allows a remote, authenticated attacker to upload large files, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-4792)
- An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2014-4808)
- A flaw exists due to improper recursion detection during entity expansion. A remote attacker, via a specially crafted XML document, can cause the system to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4814)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists that allows a remote attacker to identify whether or not a file exists based on the web server error codes.
(CVE-2014-4821)
- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted URL.
(CVE-2014-6093)
- An unspecified reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary script code in a user's web browser within the security context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker to steal a user's cookie-based authentication credentials. (CVE-2014-6215)
- An unspecified reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary script code in a user's web browser within the security context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker to steal a user's cookie-based authentication credentials. (CVE-2014-8909)
- An unspecified flaw exists that is trigged when handling Portal requests. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1943)
