Synopsis

The Nutanix AOS host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.3.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.5.3.5 advisory.

- When using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https, session cookies created by Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M1 to 11.0.0.-M2, 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.5, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.71 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.85 did not include the secure attribute. This could result in the user agent transmitting the session cookie over an insecure channel. (CVE-2023-28708)

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

Solution

Update the Nutanix AOS software to recommended version.
