Adobe Connect <= 11.0.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB21-19)

high Nessus Plugin ID 147419

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Connect running on the remote host is 11.0.5 or earlier. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- Multiple reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2021-21079, CVE-2021-21080, CVE-2021-21081)

- An arbitrary code execution vulnerability due to improper input validation. (CVE-2021-21085)


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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Connect version 11.2 or later
