Microsoft Exchange Server Spoofing Vulnerability

The Microsoft Exchange Server installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A session spoofing vulnerability exists. An attacker can     exploit this to perform actions with the privileges of     another user. (CVE-2021-41349, CVE-2021-42305)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to bypass authentication and execute     unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-42321)

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

Microsoft Exchange Server versions 2019 before cumulative update 11, 2016 before cumulative update 22 and 2013 before cumulative update 23 are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability through the `autodiscover/autodiscover.json` endpoint. By crafting a specific URL, an attacker could target any Exchange user and try conducting phishing attacks or performing arbitrary modification on the target application.
