critical Nessus Plugin ID 160883

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable SecurityCenter application installed on the remote host is less than 5.21.0 and is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A command injection vulnerability exists in Composer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands by installing untrusted dependencies. (CVE-2021-41116)
- A code injection vulnerability exists in Composer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands by controlling the $file or $identifier argument. (CVE-2022-24828)
- Read/write beyond bounds - Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in mod_sed of Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker to overwrite heap memory with possibly attacker provided data. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4 version 2.4.52 and prior versions. (CVE-2022-23943) Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Apply the security patch referenced in the vendor advisory or upgrade to 5.21.0 or later.
