Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS) running on the remote host is prior to 9.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- The XML document processed in the GMS ECM URL endpoint is vulnerable to XML external entity (XXE) injection, potentially resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2024-29010)

- Use of hard-coded password in the GMS ECM endpoint leading to authentication bypass vulnerability.
(CVE-2024-29011)

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 SonicWALL Global Management version 9.4 or later.
