Aviatrix Controllers < 7.1.4191 / 7.2 < 7.2.4996 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 271262

Language:

Synopsis

Aviatrix Controllers are affected by an RCE vulnerability.

Description

The version of Aviatrix Controller installed on the remote host is prior to 7.1.4191 (for 7.1.x) or prior to 7.2.4996 (for 7.2.x). It is, therefore, affected by an OS command injection vulnerability caused by improper neutralization of special elements in API input. An unauthenticated attacker can send shell metacharacters in the cloud_type parameter to /v1/api for list_flightpath_destination_instances, or in src_cloud_type for flightpath_connection_test, which may allow arbitrary command or code execution on the controller.

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

Solution

Upgrade Aviatrix Controller to version 7.1.4191, 7.2.4996 or later.
