Security Updates for Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Dec 2018)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 136616

Language:

Synopsis

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV install is missing a security update.

Description

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV install is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a specially crafted web request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

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

Solution

The solution varies for different versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV :

 - Dynamics NAV 2016: Install Cumulative Update 38 or later
 - Dynamics NAV 2017: Install Cumulative Update 25 or later
