Directory traversal vulnerability in Plone CMS 5.x through 5.0.6 and 4.2.x through 4.3.11 allows remote administrators to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter in a getFile action to Plone/++theme++barceloneta/@@plone.resourceeditor.filemanager-actions.

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 3.3.x prior to 4.3.12, or 5.0.x < 5.0.7. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in Plone CMS allows remote administrators to read arbitrary files via a     .. (dot dot) in the path parameter in a getFile action to     Plone/++theme++barceloneta/@@plone.resourceeditor.filemanager-actions. (CVE-2016-7135)

  - z3c.form in Plone CMS allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted     GET request. (CVE-2016-7136)

  - Multiple open redirect vulnerabilities in Plone CMS allow remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary     web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the referer parameter to (1)     %2b%2bgroupdashboard%2b%2bplone.dashboard1%2bgroup/%2b/portlets.Actions or (2)     folder/%2b%2bcontextportlets%2b%2bplone.footerportlets/%2b /portlets.Actions or the (3) came_from     parameter to /login_form. (CVE-2016-7137)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the URL checking infrastructure in Plone CMS allows remote     attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL. (CVE-2016-7138)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in an unspecified page template in Plone allows remote attackers     to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-7139)

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the ZMI page in Zope2 in Plone CMS allow remote     attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-7140)

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 (PloneHotfix20160830) 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:

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in Plone CMS 5.x through 5.0.6 and 4.2.x through 4.3.11 allows remote
    administrators to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter in a getFile action to
    Plone/++theme++barceloneta/@@plone.resourceeditor.filemanager-actions. (CVE-2016-7135)

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

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in Plone CMS 5.x through 5.0.6 and 4.2.x through 4.3.11 allows remote     administrators to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter in a getFile action to     Plone/++theme++barceloneta/@@plone.resourceeditor.filemanager-actions. (CVE-2016-7135)

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