Veri-NAC Appliance unauthenticated URL Directory Traversal

medium Nessus Plugin ID 55022

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is prone to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The remote host appears to be a Black Box Veri-NAC network access control appliance that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve arbitrary files through its web server using specially crafted requests with '/unauthenticated' followed by directory traversal sequences at the start of the URL.

This can result in the disclosure of sensitive information, such as the device's Active Directory configuration file, shadow password file, and the like.

Solution

Update to version 8.0.10 as that is reported to address the issue.
