Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance 'oauth_token' Parameter Remote Command Execution

critical Nessus Plugin ID 85005

Synopsis

The remote device is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied in put to the 'oauth_token' parameter in the get_oauth_customer_name() and verify_oauth_token() functions. The parameter is passed to a system() command through the 'twsgetStatus' handler. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host.

Note that the twsPut, twssetStatus, twsGet, Find, Put, and mPut handlers are also reportedly affected by this issue; however, Nessus has not tested these additional handlers.

Solution

Upgrade to Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance version FTA_9_11_210 or later.
