The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-26 (Apache XML-RPC: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in     Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a     crafted DTD. (CVE-2016-5002)

  - The Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in an <ex:serializable> element.
    (CVE-2016-5003)

  - An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult     method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client     causing it to execute arbitrary code. Apache XML-RPC is no longer maintained and this issue will not be     fixed. (CVE-2019-17570)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has xmlrpc3 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - A flaw was discovered in the Apache XML-RPC (ws-xmlrpc)     library that deserializes untrusted data when     enabledForExtensions setting is enabled. A remote     attacker could use this vulnerability to execute     arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in a      element. (CVE-2016-5003)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has xmlrpc packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - A flaw was discovered in the Apache XML-RPC (ws-xmlrpc)     library that deserializes untrusted data when     enabledForExtensions setting is enabled. A remote     attacker could use this vulnerability to execute     arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in a      element. (CVE-2016-5003)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2317 advisory.

    XML-RPC is a way to make remote procedure calls over the Internet. It converts procedure calls into XML     documents, sends them to a remote server using the HTTP protocol, and gets back the response as XML.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: xmlrpc (3.1.3). (BZ#1594618)
