critical Nessus Plugin ID 329036

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 2.5.x prior to 2.5.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- Unspecified vulnerability in the Password Reset Tool before 0.4.1 on Plone 2.5 and 2.5.1 Release Candidate allows attackers to reset the passwords of other users, related to 'an erroneous security declaration'.
(CVE-2006-4247)

- Unspecified vulnerability in PlonePAS allows an attacker to 'masquerade as a group'. (CVE-2006-4249)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Plone version 2.5.2 or later.
