ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP < 14.5 Build 14504 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 189505

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.5 Build 14504. It is, therefore, affected by a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows a low-privileged technician to inject malicious JavaScript into the task's name when creating a time sheet.

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 ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP version 14.5 Build 14504 or later.
