Pulse Connect Secure Arbitrary File Read Vulnerability (CVE-2019-11510)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 127908

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is affected by an arbitrary file read vulnerability

Description

According to its self-reported version, the version of Pulse Connect Secure running on the remote host is prior to 8.1R15.1, 8.2.x < 8.2R12.1, 8.3.x < 8.3R7.1 or 9.x prior to 9.0R3.4. It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary file read vulnerability due to insufficient user input validation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by requesting a specially crafted URI, to read arbitrary files and disclose sensitive information.

Solution

Upgrade to version 8.1R15.1, 8.2R12.1, 8.3R7.1, 9.0R3.4, or later.
