Plone 3.3.0 through 3.3.6, 4.0.0 through 4.0.10, 4.1.0 through 4.1.6, 4.2.0 through 4.2.7, 4.3.0 through 4.3.6, and 5.0rc1 allows remote attackers to add a new member to a Plone site with registration enabled, without acknowledgment of site administrator.

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 3.3.x prior to 4.3.7. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Plone allows remote attackers to add a new member to a Plone site with registration enabled, without     acknowledgment of site administrator (CVE-2015-7315)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Plone. (CVE-2015-7316)

  - Kupu allows remote authenticated users to edit Kupu settings. (CVE-2015-7317)

  - Plone allows remote attackers to inject headers into HTTP responses (CVE-2015-7318)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20150910) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Plone 3.3.0 through 3.3.6, 4.0.0 through 4.0.10, 4.1.0 through 4.1.6, 4.2.0 through 4.2.7, 4.3.0 through
    4.3.6, and 5.0rc1 allows remote attackers to add a new member to a Plone site with registration enabled,
    without acknowledgment of site administrator. (CVE-2015-7315)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Plone 3.3.0 through 3.3.6, 4.0.0 through 4.0.10, 4.1.0 through 4.1.6, 4.2.0 through 4.2.7, 4.3.0 through     4.3.6, and 5.0rc1 allows remote attackers to add a new member to a Plone site with registration enabled,     without acknowledgment of site administrator. (CVE-2015-7315)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
