IBM Spectrum Protect Plus File Upload RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 141471

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The IBM Spectrum Protect Plus (SPP) administrative console running on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to the fact that it allows remote installation of console plugins. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this and CVE-2020-4711 together, via specially crafted HTTP requests, to execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges.

Note that the application is reportedly affected by other vulnerabilities; however, this plugin has not tested for those issues.

Solution

Update the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus RPM package spp-adminconsole to 10.1.6-27 or later. That spp-adminconsole package should be in the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.6 build 2045.
