medium Nessus Plugin ID 69101

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a virtualization appliance installed that is affected by an arbitrary file upload vulnerability.

Description

The version of vCenter Operations Manager installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Apache Struts component. By exploiting this flaw, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could overwrite arbitrary files on the remote host subject to the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Solution

Upgrade to vCenter Operations Manager 5.0.3 or later.
