Symantec (Blue Coat) Reporter CLI OS Command Injection Vulnerability (SYMSA1465)

high Nessus Plugin ID 121254

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is running a version of Symantec (Blue Coat) Reporter CLI that is affected by an OS command injection vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Symantec (formerly Blue Coat) Reporter installation running on the remote host is 10.1 prior to 10.1.5.6 or 10.2 prior to 10.2.1.8. It is, therefore, affected by an OS command injection vulnerability. An authenticated attacker with Enable mode administrator access can execute arbitrary OS commands with elevated system privileges.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Symantec Reporter version 10.1.5.6 / 10.2.1.8 or later.
