Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 0a50bb48-625f-11ec-a1fb-080027cb2f6f advisory.

- An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. By using an action=rollback query, attackers can view private wiki contents. (CVE-2021-45038)

- An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. The REST API publicly caches results from private wikis. (CVE-2021-44854)

- An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. There is Blind Stored XSS via a URL to the Upload Image feature. (CVE-2021-44855)

- An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. A title blocked by AbuseFilter can be created via Special:ChangeContentModel due to the mishandling of the EditFilterMergedContent hook return value. (CVE-2021-44856)

- An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. It is possible to use action=mcrundo followed by action=mcrrestore to replace the content of any arbitrary page (that the user doesn't have edit rights for). This applies to any public wiki, or a private wiki that has at least one page set in $wgWhitelistRead. (CVE-2021-44857)

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