SonicWall Secure Mobile Access < 10.2.1.10-62sv (SNWLID-2023-0018)

high Nessus Plugin ID 235087

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of SonicWall Secure Mobile Access installed on the remote host is prior to 10.2.1.10-62sv. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SNWLID-2023-0018 advisory:

 - Improper neutralization of special elements in the SMA100 SSL-VPN management interface allows a remote authenticated attacker with administrative privilege to inject arbitrary commands as a 'nobody' user, potentially leading to OS Command Injection Vulnerability. (CVE-2023-44221)

 - Improper authentication in the SMA100 SSL-VPN virtual office portal allows a remote authenticated attacker to create an identical external domain user using accent characters, resulting in an MFA bypass. (CVE-2023-5970)

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

Solution

Upgrade SonicWall Secure Mobile Access version 10.2.1.10-62sv or later.
