high Nessus Plugin ID 187816

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of xmlgraphics-commons installed on the remote host is prior to 1.5-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2411 advisory.

- Apache XmlGraphics Commons 2.4 and earlier is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by improper input validation by the XMPParser. By using a specially-crafted argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the underlying server to make arbitrary GET requests. Users should upgrade to 2.6 or later. (CVE-2020-11988)

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

Solution

Run 'yum update xmlgraphics-commons' to update your system.
