FreePBX 13.x < 13.0.197.14 / 14.x < 14.0.13.12 / 15.x < 15.0.16.27 Remote Admin Authentication Bypass

critical Nessus Plugin ID 298040

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of FreePBX installed on the remote host is 13.x prior to 13.0.197.14, 14.x prior to 14.0.13.12, or 15.x prior to 15.0.16.27. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability:

 - Sangoma FreePBX has incorrect access control that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access to the system. (CVE-2019-19006)

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 FreePBX version 13.0.197.14, 14.0.13.12, 15.0.16.27, or later.
