Plone 3.3.x < 4.3.8 / 5.0.x < 5.0.1 Information Disclosure (HF 20151208)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 329019

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 3.3.x prior to 4.3.8 or 5.0.x prior to 5.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to disclose potentially sensitive information.

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 (PloneHotfix20151208) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

Solution

Apply the vendor hotfix (Products.PloneHotfix20151208), or upgrade to Plone 4.3.8, 5.0.1 or later.
