Progress WS_FTP Server < 8.8.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 182522

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FTP server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of WS_FTP earlier than to 8.8.2. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WS_FTP Server's Management module. An attacker with administrative privileges could import a SSL certificate with malicious attributes containing cross-site scripting payloads. Once the cross-site scripting payload is successfully stored, an attacker could leverage this vulnerability to target WS_FTP Server admins with a specialized payload which results in the execution of malicious JavaScript within the context of the victims browser. (CVE-2023-40047)

- The WS_FTP Server Manager interface was missing cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection on a POST transaction corresponding to a WS_FTP Server administrative function. (CVE-2023-40048)

- An unauthenticated user could enumerate files under the 'WebServiceHost' directory listing. (CVE-2023-40049)

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

Solution

Upgrade to WS_FTP Server version 8.8.2 or later.
