Dynamicweb 9.8.x < 9.8.11 Authentication Bypass

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115740

Synopsis

Dynamicweb 9.8.x < 9.8.11 Authentication Bypass

Description

According to its self-reported version number, Dynamicweb is prior to 9.12.8. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a logic issue when determining if the setup phases of the product can be run again, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to add a new administrator user. Once authenticated as this administrator, an attacker can upload an executable file and achieve command execution.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Dynamicweb version 9.8.11 or later.
