Plone 4.x < 4.0.10 / 4.1.x < 4.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (HF 20110928)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 329034

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 4.x prior to 4.0.10 or 4.1.x prior to 4.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Zope 2.12.x and 2.13.x, as used allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via vectors related to the p_ class in OFS/misc_.py and the use of Python modules. (CVE-2011-3587)

 - The CMFEditions component 2.x does not prevent the KwAsAttributes classes from being publishable, which allows remote attackers to access sub-objects via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3587. (CVE-2011-4030)

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 (PloneHotfix20110928) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

Solution

Apply the vendor hotfix (Products.PloneHotfix20110928), or upgrade to Plone 4.0.10, 4.1.1 or later.
