medium Nessus Plugin ID 300254

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an improper certificate validation vulnerability.

Description

The version of HCL AppScan Source installed on the remote Windows host is 10.6.0 or earlier. It is, therefore, affected by an improper certificate validation vulnerability. HCL AppScan Source does not properly validate a TLS/SSL certificate for an executable, which could allow an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to intercept or modify traffic.

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 HCL AppScan Source version 10.7.0 or later.
