Plone 3.3.x < 4.3.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities (HF 20150910)

high Nessus Plugin ID 329033

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 4.3.7. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- Plone allows remote attackers to add a new member to a Plone site with registration enabled, without acknowledgment of site administrator (CVE-2015-7315)

- Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Plone. (CVE-2015-7316)

- Kupu allows remote authenticated users to edit Kupu settings. (CVE-2015-7317)

- Plone allows remote attackers to inject headers into HTTP responses (CVE-2015-7318)

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 (PloneHotfix20150910) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

Solution

Apply the vendor hotfix (Products.PloneHotfix20150910), or upgrade to Plone version 4.3.7 or later.
