high Nessus Plugin ID 260642

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- In GLPI before 9.4.6, an attacker can execute system commands by abusing the backup functionality.
Theoretically, this vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker without a valid account by using a CSRF.
Due to the difficulty of the exploitation, the attack is only conceivable by an account having Maintenance privileges and the right to add WIFI networks. This is fixed in version 9.4.6. (CVE-2020-11060)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
