Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in Movable Type < 3.2 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains CGI scripts that are prone to arbitrary remote command execution, information disclosure, and cross-site scripting attacks. Description : The remote host is running Movable Type, a blog software written in Perl. The installed version of Movable Type permits a possible hacker to enumerate valid usernames because its password reset functionality returns different errors depending on whether the supplied username exists permits privileged users to upload files with arbitrary extensions, possibly outside the web server's document directory and fails to sanitize certain fields when creating new blog entries of malicious HTML and script code before using them to generate dynamic web pages. Solution : Upgrade to Movable Type 3.2 or later and grant only trusted users the ability to upload files via the administrative interface. Network Security Threat Level: Low / CVSS Base Score : 3 (AV:R/AC:H/Au:R/C:P/A:P/I:P/B:N) Networks Security ID: 14910, 14911, 14912 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2005 Tenable Network Security |
