[R4] SecurityCenter Post-authentication Remote Command Execution

High

Synopsis

SecurityCenter contains multiple flaws that may allow an authenticated user to execute remote commands on the device. The issue is due to four separate pages not fully sanitizing user-supplied files during upload functions, allowing for the injection of operating system commands. In each case the user must be authenticated to the device, and in two cases the account must have sufficient privileges to reach the vulnerable functionality.

Three of the issues were reported by Vincent Hutsebaut and are covered by CVE-2015-4149. After receiving the report, Tenable audited additional functionality for the same issue and found one internally, which is covered by CVE-2015-4150 due to their wonky abstraction rules. =)

Please note that Tenable strongly recommends that SecurityCenter be installed on a subnet that is not Internet addressable.

Solution

Tenable has released a patch for SecurityCenter 4.6.2.2, 4.7.1, and 4.8.2 that addresses these issues.
