ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus < 14.0 Build 14001 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168361

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus running on the remote host is prior to 14.0 Build 14001. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- An XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability due to a flaw in the Analytics Plus integration.
Threat actors with admin role access can retrieve local files from the server. (CVE-2022-40771)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability allows an adversary to access restricted data in the Postgres database setup by using a specific PostgreSQL function in the query, which enables bypassing the validation mechanism. (CVE-2022-40772)

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 ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus version 14.0 Build 14001, or later.
