high Nessus Plugin ID 329013
Synopsis
The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 3.3.x prior to 4.3.10, 5.0.x prior to 5.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:- Plone does not have security declarations for Dexterity content-related WebDAV requests, which allows remote attackers to gain webdav access via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-4041)
- Plone allows remote attackers to obtain information about the ID of sensitive content via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-4042)
- Chameleon (five.pt) in Plone allows remote authenticated users to bypass Restricted Python by leveraging permissions to create or edit templates. (CVE-2016-4043)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20160419) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.
Solution
Apply the vendor hotfix (Products.PloneHotfix20160419), or upgrade to Plone version 4.3.10, 5.0.5 or later.See Also
