Plone 3.3.x < 5.0 Multiple XSRF Vulnerabilities (HF 20151006)

high Nessus Plugin ID 329008

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is prior to 5.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Zope Management Interface. (CVE-2015-7293)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20151006) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

Solution

Apply the vendor hotfix (Products.PloneHotfix20151006), or upgrade to Plone version 5.0.0 or later.
